You cannot stop an idea whose time has come simply because it threatens the comfort of the status quo.

There will be noise. There will be resistance. Numbers in the lower cadres will always be louder when standards and professional boundaries are being raised.

Healthcare cannot be organised around appeasing numbers. It must be organised around competence, accountability, patient safety and internationally recognised standards of practice.

The future of healthcare will not be negotiated with mediocrity. Those who cannot meet the standard will have to make way for those who can.

[Sylvia A Opanga PhD (Prof SAO) @opanga_SAPhD]

You cannot reject an idea whose time has come. There will be noise in (lower cadre) numbers, but the upper echelons will push for excellence. Practice must be aligned to internationally recognised standards of pharmaceutical care.

This is the problem, the union leaders are actually in MKU upgrading to BPharm

[The Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya (PSK) @PSofKenya]

@citizentvkenya This is lazy journalism. Please do not conflate identities. We request that you undo this misleading post. Pharmacists HAVE NOT rejected the GPP guidelines. We fully embrace efforts towards attaining the highest attainable standards of pharmaceutical care for Kenyans.

[Dr. Nemoe @WairimuwaMbogo]

On quacks and unlicensed pharmacy premises, here is one practical step:

We are calling on @KenyaGovernors to ensure that no Single Business Permit (SBP) is issued to a pharmacy without a valid PPB licence. No PPB licence. No SBP. No operation.

Implement this consistently across all counties and see the difference.

No room for quacks. Patient safety first.

KPA Nairobi Chair @AndyMbitu is mobilising members’ money to bribe some individuals. Unbeknownst to contributors, such collections could be funding the university education of @EGichane. Pharm Techs should know! #PatientSafety #GoodPharmacyPractice

[Pharma Facts Kenya @PharmaTrutg0y3]

CAP. 245 recognises the lawful sale or supply of narcotic and psychotropic substances by a REGISTERED PHARMACIST. SECTION 2 DEFINITION OF “TRAFFICKING”. The KPA framing is disingenuous because it omits the Act’s express statutory controls.

Healthcare capitalism would rather employ a Pharmaceutical Technologist in the facade that a Pharmacist is present to cut on labour wages than actually hiring a Pharmacist (A Dr) and comprise quality of standards. This is not to throw shade at Pharm techs but to emphasize on profit over quality healthcare.

I love to see we are bold enough to bring order to the healthcare sector! Good Pharmacy Practice is definately a good place to begin, higher qualification means higher responsibility!

DEMONSTRATIONS BY HOLDERS OF DIPLOMA IN PHARMACY REGARDING THE 2026 GOOD PHARMACY PRACTICE STANDARDS.

[Brian K✌🏿 @kiprop_brian1]

Differentiation of functions and responsibilities protects the very patients we took an oath to serve! #GPP2026 guidelines do not exempt PTs from providing services from Levels 3-6, contrary to misleading posts we see. Qualifications & competencies are not interchangeable.

[Pharma Facts Kenya @PharmaTrutg0y3]

There is talk about Kenya's Good Pharmacy Practice Standards #GPP2026 by @ppbkenya to ensure #PatientSafety. Here is the factual background from the standards, the Medical Institutions Rules and the High Court judgment. A thread🧵

Former National Treasury CS, Prof. Njuguna Ndung'u, says whereas institutions in Kenya have the capacity to do the right thing, "the current President overruns all the institutions and that is why everybody in those institutions will have to conform, for fear"

Mathari is a level 6 hospital by every means every healthcare practitioner should be renumerated fairly. This government has failed!!

[Ⓝⓖ'ⓞⓡⓞⓡⓘⓔⓣ🐐🇰🇪 @baroswahjr]

From a concerned nurse,

We are calling on the media and the public to expose the ongoing injustice facing contract nurses at Mathari National Teaching and Referral Hospital.

For over five years, since 2021, we have been trapped in an endless cycle of rolling three-month contracts, performing the same duties as Permanent and Pensionable (PnP) nurses while being treated as disposable workers.

Every day, we report to work in one of Kenya's most demanding and high-risk healthcare facilities, caring for some of the country's most vulnerable patients. We shoulder the same responsibilities, work the same shifts, and face the same occupational risks as our permanent colleagues.

Yet the reality is heartbreaking.

- We earn only about KSh 30,000 per month, while colleagues doing the same work earn over KSh 80,000, excluding numerous allowances and benefits.
- We receive no risk allowance, despite working in a high-risk mental health environment.
- We have no paid leave, no meaningful employment benefits, and no job security.
- Since 2021, there has been no career progression or promotion, despite years of dedicated service and experience.

This is not simply about low pay. It is about dignity, fairness, and equal treatment.

What hurts even more is that whenever we try to raise our concerns through the proper channels, we face intimidation and fear. We are repeatedly reminded that our names are "written in pencil," creating a climate where speaking out feels like risking our livelihoods.

How can healthcare workers be expected to provide compassionate, quality care while living with constant uncertainty about whether they will still have a job after every three-month contract?

We have continued serving patients with professionalism and commitment, even when we have felt abandoned by the very system we help sustain.

We are appealing to bloggers, journalists, civil society organizations, labour rights advocates, and every Kenyan who believes in justice to help tell our story. Shine a light on what has been happening since 2021. Ask why healthcare workers performing equal work continue to receive vastly unequal treatment.

This is not just the story of contract nurses at Mathari. It is a question of whether Kenya truly values the healthcare workers who have stood by patients year after year despite insecurity, unequal pay, and a lack of basic employment protections.

Our voices have been ignored for too long.

We are not asking for sympathy.

We are asking for justice."
