The Health Sector Caucus has threatening a nationwide strike as the standoff with the Council of Governors intensifies over the absorption of 7,414 Universal Health Coverage staff. The caucus has accused the president of walking back on his word, adding that he had assured them that UHC staff would be absorbed in the financial year beginning July 1st. Despite the national government factoring Sh8.6 billion into shareable revenue for this transition, the council of governors is pushing back on the July 1st deadline, citing financial constraints and other budgetary disputes.
