Nurses’ Union Demands Payment of July Stipends for Interns

Nairobi, Kenya – The Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives has expressed concern over the delayed payment of July 2026 stipends to nursing officer interns, according to a letter dated October 21. The union's General Secretary, Seth Panyako, has called upon Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale to address the issue and release the outstanding payments.

Panyako emphasized that the delayed stipends have led to financial hardship for the affected interns, who are currently unable to continue their training due to the lack of funds. He stressed that timely payment of the July 2026 stipends is crucial to prevent any disruptions in the interns' educational programs.
