The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers has urged the Council of Governors to create an authority to manage health workers’ affairs, blaming county governments for unresolved grievances that have triggered repeated strikes. Speaking in Kilifi County, KUCO chairperson Peterson Wachira said the body should oversee recruitment and salary payments. The union maintains its nationwide strike will continue until UHC staff receive permanent and pensionable employment letters and their pending six-year gratuity is paid.
