At our National Advisory Council (NAC) meeting • Beyond fulfilling a constitutional requirement, KMPDU’s biannual NAC meetings continuously enhance the union’s leadership capacity while addressing both existing and emerging issues affecting our members.
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.

14 Days !! As public sector unions, we demand immediate action on the flawed rollout of SHA, continuation of comprehensive healthcare coverage, and 100% job transition for former NHIF workers. If these are not resolved within 14 days, all the unions will begin industrial action.
Amidst the growing disapproval of SHIF/SHA, #KMPDU continues to hold joint deliberations as a follow-up action against this fraudulent scheme. As stated in our press conference yesterday, we have reiterated that SHIF/SHA will deny Kenyans access to healthcare insurance.

We owe it to Dr. Moraa and every healthcare worker in this country; to demand work environments that prioritize workers’ mental well-being, ensure timely and fair compensation, and hold accountable those who perpetuate abuse and exploitation.
