The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) has called on the Health Cabinet Secretary nominee to address the four months of unpaid arrears for 1,267 interns and streamline the internship program.

KUCO Secretary General George Gibore described the situation as dire. He challenged the Health CS nominee to ensure interns, who were posted on April 1, 2024, are paid promptly and posted on time.
