They care for Kenya’s most vulnerable mental health patients but contract nurses at Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital say they live with constant uncertainty over job security.

@fnoluga do you remember this?
It's barely 5yrs.
Recently, @MOH_Kenya Confirmed 114Medical officers to PNP and PAID their Gratuities.
But you left out 7900+ Nurses, Clinical officers, Pharmtecs, Labtechs, public Health officers among other 12 Cadres.
How do you explain this Daktari?
The 114 officers are from Your Cadre.
Can you show leadership?
Can you live up to what you once stood for as a Leader and advise @HonAdenDuale as deemed appropriate?

2.End the HALF PAY and convert UHC to PNP now.
4.2B available is enough sir.
Otherwise, see you on TUESDAY!
Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff have vowed to continue pressing for their rights despite a violent police crackdown during a peaceful protest in Nairobi on Tuesday.
The healthcare workers, supported by the Kenya National Union of Medical Laboratory Officers (KNUMLO), say they will not be intimidated or silenced by the excessive force used against them, including the firing of rubber bullets and teargas that left several injured, one of whom remains hospitalized with a broken leg.
KNUMLO, through Secretary General Pius Moriasi, has condemned the police brutality as a blatant violation of constitutional freedoms and a betrayal of frontline health workers.

Pay us our 5yrs Gratuity and PNP
OR
Give us Our Gratuity and End the UHC Slavery.
We are Kenyans and not beggars in Our Own Country.
Sir, have You heard what we call conflict of interest?
Or this budget has been done before UHC staff existence?
Also, heard of opportunism?
One Union bragging about having almost nothing to complain about the government?
From inception of @DeboraBarasa to the current situation at @MOH_Kenya ?
Anyway, we forget that everything is about interest and whom you know?
@MOH_Kenya needs to fairly balance and Respect the over 18Cadres in Health.
