The County Government of Makueni has officially granted permanent and pensionable employment to 186 Universal Health Coverage (UHC) health workers. These workers had been contracted for six years prior to this decision. Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. made the announcement during a development tour of the Emali/Mulala Ward in Nzaui Sub-County on Tuesday. The governor acknowledged that remuneration issues had previously caused delays in formalizing their employment status. This move secures the future of these essential healthcare professionals within Makueni County's public sector. The decision aims to stabilize the UHC workforce and improve healthcare service delivery across the region. This formalization recognizes the valuable contributions of these workers to the community.
