Taita Taveta Governor Andrew Mwadime has promised to pay the stipend arrears of 1400 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) this week after a year of waiting and disappointment.
The CHPs were supposed to have received a monthly salary of Sh5000 each, with the county and national governments each contributing half of that amount.
However, the national government has been paying its share while the county has not been remitting its half since the inception of the programme a year ago.
Last month, dozens of CHPs stormed the Taita Taveta county assembly to demand their stipend payment by the county administration.
