Scores of health workers, employed under the Universal Health Care (UHC) programme in Murang'a County have threatened to halt their services if their grievances are addressed.
The medics have decried neglect by the ministry of health despite working for five years without being absorbed on a permanent basis.
The workers who staged demonstration in Murang'a town Tuesday, complained of only being paid half of the salary, compared to their counterparts, employed by the county government.
Led by the national chairman of Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives (KNUN), Joseph Ngwasi, they said despite several attempts of presenting their grievances to the ministry of health, nothing has been fulfilled.
