Five thousand medics who were hired for the rollout of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Universal Health Coverage program have expressed concern over the expiry of their contracts.
In a letter dated April 8, seen by
Kenyans.co.ke, the medics have appealed to President Kenyatta to consider their absorption as permanent workers.
“Majority of us are still youths and are worried about our future by the end of these three years on contract and therefore we humbly request to be appointed as permanent employees of the county governments in the terms of Public Service Commission and Salaries & Remuneration Commission,” the letter reads in part.
