The Universal Healthcare Workers have called for the impeachment of Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki for opposing the Ministry of Health's move to absorb the workers to permanent and pensionable terms.
In a statement on Wednesday, August 27, the workers claimed that the governor's statement was insensitive and misleading, and that the Tharaka Nithi County MCAs should launch impeachment proceedings against him for gross misconduct and mismanagement of healthcare workers as the Health Committee Chair of the Council of Governors (COG).
The workers have further threatened to hold demonstrations at the Tharaka Nithi County Headquarters until the governor withdraws his statements.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) should also launch investigations into graft cases tied to the governor since he took office, according to the UHC staff. A photo of Governor Muthomi Njuki at PCEA Mutembe Church on February 19, 2023.
