Civil servants have issued a 14-day strike notice to the government over what they term as undermining workers' welfare.

This comes as it emerged that civil servants are facing salary cuts due to unpaid medical bills.

During a press conference on Tuesday, March 4, the Union of Kenya Civil Servants (UKCS) announced that it will urge its members to go on strike nationwide on Monday, March 18, if the government does not resolve the ongoing dispute regarding the medical cover linked to the Public Officers Medical Fund (POMF).

POMSF is a medical cover for civil servants under SHA aimed at providing comprehensive medical coverage for public servants and their dependents.
