Our clinical officers serve as the primary point of contact for medical attention and play a crucial role in delivering healthcare services across all our medical facilities. We acknowledge the grievances raised by the clinical officers who are currently on strike, including their demands for promotions, additional staff, and other issues, all of which have been accounted for in the 2024–2025 budget set to take effect in July of this year.
I urge them, under the leadership of their secretary general, Mr. George Gibore, to approach this situation with open minds and allow for dialogue and negotiations. I am confident that we can resolve these issues through constructive discussions at the negotiating table, rather than resorting to disruption of healthcare services that could potentially harm our citizens. We deeply appreciate and respect the work of our clinical officers, and as a government, we are committed to addressing their concerns as a top priority.
