Clinical officers clash with CS Duale over CBA, accuse Health Ministry of stalling talks

Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) are tonight locked in a tug of war over the ongoing strike by clinical officers. The union accuses the CS of dragging his feet on signing their Collective Bargaining Agreement, despite approvals from the Salaries and Remuneration Commission and the Council of Governors. But Duale insists the CBA only applies to a limited group of clinicians under the Health Ministry, leaving the majority of officers nationwide out.
