Health is no longer an essential service in Kenya. When the government found itself short of resources to pay salaries, they only paid teachers, police and disciplined forces. Indirect privatization of healthcare is on course (I'll share more about this later).

DELAYED POSTING
The delays in internship posting started in 2021 when the graduates from KMTC doubled and thereby exceeded the available internship establishment in Ministry of Health. This led to spill over into 2022 as they awaited expansion of establishment.

No Gov. Muthomi, health workers and teachers don't suffer same problems. Teachers are employed annually, health workers are not; health workers are engaged in abusive contracts earning half pay, not so with teachers. Health workers push for better terms is bastardized
Muthomi Njuki: Health workers are facing the same problems that teachers are facing. It is a general unemployment problem because we have not been able to create systems that can be able to absorb people as fast as possible

I wonder. Plus;
1. Delay in resolving Clinical Officers strike which is on day 86 today.
2. Neglecting interns for months
3. Refusing to honour agreement on enhancement of risk allowance
4. Engaging Clinical Officers on discriminatory contracts.
It is extremely mental how the people in power demand that we must love them for:
1. Not Implementing the Drs’ CBA/posting interns.
2. Not paying JSS teachers.
3. Increasing University fees for the poor.
4. Exporting youth abroad for slavery jobs.
5. Showing lavish opulence
