The Kenya Health Workers Union Society said their welfare has been neglected adding that they are overexposed and not protected from Covid-19.
“At this time that the leadership are not ready to address the grievance of foot soldiers ..we have been here severally..it’s not that we have no business to attend to,” the union said on Thursday.
Kenya National Clinical Union Chairman Peterson Wachira said their push to get involved in the fight against the virus has fallen on deaf ears.
“This pandemic is an emergency but if you are not treating health workers as the forefront soldiers and you are treating them as normal people then it is a sad day, ” he said.
