Following our strike notice and concerns raised about the ongoing healthcare coverage crisis, we have been informed that the Comprehensive Medical Insurance Scheme for Public Servants has been temporarily extended until 21st November 2024. While this extension offers short-term relief, it falls short of addressing the broader healthcare gaps and uncertainties affecting public servants and Kenyans at large. We urge the State Department for Public Service and the Social Health Authority (SHA) to not just offer temporary fixes but to engage in genuine dialogue with unions for lasting solutions. The lack of clear long-term plans leaves workers vulnerable to further disruptions, and we remain firm in demanding a comprehensive healthcare system that truly serves public sector workers beyond this extension. We are committed to holding the authorities accountable and will not relent in our efforts to secure reliable, equitable healthcare for public servants and all Kenyans. This fight is far from over.
