Newly appointed Health Cabinet Secretary Adan Duale has promised to transition Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Workers with over five years of service to Permanent and Pensionable (PnP) terms.

Speaking after taking over the reigns from CS Deborah Barasa on Tuesday, April 1, Duale stated that he would address all their concerns and demands in the next three weeks.

Duale was speaking to hundreds of UHC staff who had camped outside Afya House following weeks of strikes over years of unmet promises.

He also promised a settlement of gratuity to all deserving workers within the same timeline.
