Nairobi county clinical officers on Thursday staged protest, accusing Governor Johnson Sakaja's administration of ignoring their plights and treating them "without dignity." Led by Kenya Union of Clinical Officers Nairobi Branch chairman, Stephen Muthama, the clinicians are demanding for the implement career progression guideline by the county government.
The document, developed in May last year by Public Service Commission in consultation with other stakeholders, dictates recruitment, promotion, redesignation and retention of clinical officers. "We went on strike, the policy document went through, but Nairobi City County has declined and refused to implement.
Our demand is they implement it in totality.
That is the guideline that dictates our career progression, our career development from internship to retirement," said Muthama.
