  abstract = {Research motivation: The current study seeks to establish the trends in physicians’ dual practice and present existing knowledge gaps that need to be filled based on studies done in other contexts.   Research Design/methodology: The desktop research review approach was used in the investigation. This entailed a thorough evaluation of publications on practitioners' DP. To establish the feasibility of the problem for investigation, 3 selection processes were conducted on the topic under investigation.  Main findings: Thus, premised on the foregoing results, the present research believes that an investigation of dual practice is important and beneficial in order to expand on the stream of information accessible. Furthermore, the study should seek an in-depth investigation of dual practice because the study found that dual practice has negative consequences on the health care system. This results in the reduction in workforce in the public sector and cases such as poor primary healthcare seem to scale up. There is no agreement on the overall results of moonlighting in the healthcare industry and, likewise, no single and easy solution to the issue of whether this profession should be governed by the ministry of health. In a nutshell, the argument revolving around dual practice is still unclear and unsatisfactory on whether to allow it or disallow it. Its disadvantages have been commonly raised by many researchers, to affect the public healthcare delivery, therefore, requiring further investigations. Despite the above, dual practice in the health sector attracts the most interest because it seeks the eye of all the relevant stakeholders to work together to ensure the balance between public and private health care provision.  Contributions to Practice: This is a preliminary investigation in Kenya that other writers from Sub-Saharan Africa might utilize as a foundation for subsequent research. The study 's conclusions might help create legislation in the area of regulating agreements for doctors in DP. The present approach is ineffective, nonstandard, and inconsistent because implementation is left to independent clinics. The data will aid in the development of a management framework for the rates of DP and the parameters that contribute to it in Kenya.},
