The Clinical Officers Union in Lamu County has announced that their ongoing strike will persist until an agreement is reached with the local government. George Kibore, the Secretary General of the union, stated this after a negotiation meeting with Lamu County officials in Mokowe. He emphasized that despite multiple discussions, a resolution to the dispute has not been achieved yet.
Kibore further explained that the Clinical and Dental Officers' Bargaining Agreement, which is in place across 40 other counties, remains unimplemented in Lamu. This agreement is a key demand of the union. The Clinical Officers, according to Kibore, will not return to work until all the issues raised during negotiations are addressed and a formal agreement is signed between the union and the Lamu County Government.
The impact of this strike on health services in Lamu has been significant, with the strike having now exceeded 60 days. Stephen Ewoi, the Chairperson of the Clinical Officers Union in Lamu Branch, confirmed this, stating that the strike has continued to disrupt healthcare delivery in the county.
