The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) wants the Ministry of Health and county governments to expedite promotions for all qualified clinical officers and revise the primary care network committee to include clinical officers within 21 days, failure to which they will go into what they term as "mother of all strikes".

Speaking during a press briefing on Wednesday, KUCO chair Peterson Wachira said some clinical officers had stagnated in one job group for more than two decades, noting that the government was hindering upward mobility of public workers.

"Some officers have stagnated in one job group for more than 20 years, with some retiring having only moved one job group since employment," said Wachira.
