Dr. Clarence Mweresa Eboso, The SG with A Vision.

Dr. Clarence Eboso makes a powerful second appearance on Daktari: A Quick One, this time not just as a guest—but as a candidate challenging the current leadership of the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU). Currently, the position of National Secretary General is held by Dr Davji Atellah. In this high-stakes conversation with host Dr Festus Nyadimu, Dr. Eboso opens up about his leadership journey, his legal activism, and why he believes KMPDU needs a strategic shift from reactive to proactive unionism. From Medicine to Law: A Leadership Journey Rooted in Advocacy In the episode, Dr. Clarence Eboso reflects on his passion for law and governance, a passion that has significantly shaped his leadership philosophy. Beyond clinical medicine, he has actively engaged in constitutional and legal matters affecting Kenya. One of the most defining moments in his journey was his involvement in the legal team that challenged the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Dr. Eboso recounts how he was part of the team that successfully opposed the constitutional amendments proposed under the initiative. In a moment that stands out in his legal career, he reveals that one of his court submissions was read almost verbatim in the judge’s ruling—a powerful affirmation of the strength and clarity of his arguments. This experience, he explains, sharpened his understanding of governance, policy interpretation, and constitutional safeguards—skills he now seeks to bring into union leadership. Why Dr. Eboso Is Challenging the KMPDU Secretary General Position The conversation then shifts to union politics and governance within KMPDU. Dr. Eboso is contesting for the National Secretary General position, arguing that the union needs stronger policy direction and constitutional fidelity. According to him, KMPDU has increasingly become a reactive union, responding to crises rather than anticipating and preventing them. He expresses concern that: The current leadership lacks long-term policy vision. Strategic planning is insufficiently grounded in the KMPDU Constitution. The union often mobilizes after damage has already occurred, rather than engaging in preventative advocacy. Dr. Eboso emphasizes that unions thrive on structure, constitutional adherence, and policy foresight—not merely public statements and emergency press conferences. “Reactive vs Proactive” Unionism: A Call for Policy-Driven Leadership During the podcast episode, Dr. Eboso cites specific provisions within the KMPDU Constitution to support his arguments. He stresses that the constitution provides clear frameworks for governance, accountability, and strategic action—but these must be actively implemented. He argues that: The union must invest in policy research units. Engagement with government stakeholders should be continuous, not episodic. Legal preparedness must be strengthened to anticipate industrial and regulatory disputes. His central thesis is simple yet bold: KMPDU must transition from reactionary activism to proactive institutional leadership. Leadership Style: Legal Precision Meets Medical Advocacy What sets Dr. Eboso apart in this conversation is the fusion of medicine and law in his leadership approach. He believes doctors’ unions must: Understand labor law in depth Leverage constitutional mechanisms Build strategic alliances Maintain strong internal governance His legal background, especially his experience in high-profile constitutional litigation, gives him a policy-focused lens through which he views union leadership. A High-Stakes Race for KMPDU Secretary General The National Secretary General position is one of the most influential offices within KMPDU. It shapes negotiations with the Ministry of Health, county governments, and regulatory bodies. By publicly challenging the incumbent, Dr. Eboso signals that this is not merely an election—it is a debate about the future direction of Kenya’s doctors’ union.
