Clinical officers in Taita Taveta, Kenya, have extended their strike for the 36th day, demanding the implementation of their collective bargaining agreement (CBA), salary adjustments, and promotions. The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) in the region stated that they would not resume duty until the county government addresses their grievances.
The main concerns include the failure to implement the CBA, approved salary increments, and the stagnation of officers in their current grades without promotions. The dispute has been ongoing since July 20, 2026, following a nationwide strike by clinical officers due to unaddressed demands from the Ministry of Health and county governments.
