Health leaders plan to move UHC worker pay records to counties starting in July. The PS, Dr Oluga, signed this deal with county head Mary Mwiti after meeting with staff unions. Local areas will pay these medical workers under the current job terms for short-term help. Counties will also receive extra money before current contracts end so they can offer permanent jobs with benefits. Staff must return to work this week if they stopped coming in earlier.
Medical staff showed their anger about broken promises through street marches last month. Many workers want better treatment after serving since May 2020. Their complaints include unfair treatment at county offices, missing pay extras, no vacation time, unpaid service rewards, and held-back wages. Workers demand full-time positions instead of temporary ones. Health Secretary Duale promised fixes within three weeks on April 1. He talked about fair treatment for everyone through talks that put workers first.
