@Itumbi_Denis Sir, if Universal Health Coverage is meant to protect every citizen, why are the very health workers delivering it still working on insecure contracts without dignity or stability?

This CRA & DORA government bureaucracy going around is not for us to digest.
The status kwa ground remains:
Our RODs haven't changed to PnP status.
And our service gratuity remains unpaid up-to-date.
Please give us our PnP letters.
Following today's engagement with members of the media, I wish to clarify the current status of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for clinical officers serving under the Ministry of Health (MOH), as well as key matters affecting Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff.
The CBA that is ready for signing applies specifically to approximately 150 clinical officers employed by the Ministry of Health. Nationally, however, Kenya has about 33,000 clinical officers, the majority serving in county public hospitals, private and faith-based facilities and national referral hospitals.
Regarding risk allowance, the previous rate of Kenya Shillings (KSh) 3,000 has been proposed for enhancement to KSh 7,000 under the CBA. However, this increase currently benefits only the 150 Ministry of Health clinicians and reflects an agreement reached prior to my assumption of office.
I have therefore urged the union leadership to engage all relevant stakeholders and ensure that the CBA becomes inclusive and applicable to all public sector clinicians, not a select few.
On Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff, significant progress has been made. Salaries are now aligned with the rates set by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
Further, at the 12th National and County Governments Coordination Summit chaired by H.E President William Ruto, it was agreed that the National Government will provide all required funding, to be transferred to county governments. A joint implementation committee comprising the Ministry of Health, county governments, the Public Service Commission (PSC) and the National Treasury has since been established.
With regard to foreign doctors, the Ministry of Health will no longer renew licenses except for practitioners from East African Community (EAC) member states. Other foreign practitioners will only be permitted where they possess specialized skills not available locally. This policy prioritizes employment opportunities for Kenyan healthcare professionals while protecting the integrity and sustainability of the health system.
The Government remains committed to continued engagement with all stakeholders to strengthen the health workforce and deliver quality, accessible and equitable healthcare for all Kenyans, in line with the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda.
President @WilliamsRuto has good news for UHC workers who served during COVID-19.
It’s permanent and pensionable for you.
Your service is recognized, and your future is secured.

@HonAdenDuale We sincerely thank H.E the president for bold move of reassuring the UHC staffs on permanent jobs effective September 2025, thank you our president together with our CS Aden Duale for that bold move.
The National Government, through the Ministry of Health and in collaboration with county governments, has committed to absorb more than 7,500 health workers, originally contracted during the COVID-19 response, into permanent and pensionable terms.
This step is meant to secure the livelihoods of frontline professionals while strengthening Kenya's healthcare workforce, a critical pillar in the journey towards achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
@scherargei We thank the president for reassuring the UHC staffs permanent jobs effective September 2025,

@SpokespersonGoK You said UHC staffs will be transitioned into permanent jobs , what happened Mr. GOK, who do we belief, is there hope in the current GOK, they speak this today, tomorrow they do a different thing.
PNP for UHC Staff is presidential and parliament directive.
Our super CS @HonAdenDuale will do the right thing: #PNPforUHC.
If some rogue Governors want to play power control, then they should face the president directly, NOT US!
If they want more money, that is NOT ON US.
