Kenyan clinical officers have called off their 36-day strike after signing a Return-to-Work Formula with the Council of Governors (CoG). Normal operations in public hospitals are expected to resume immediately following this agreement, which addresses stalled Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiations and other demands.

• The strike, which began on December 23, 2025, concluded after an agreement was reached between the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (KUCO) and the CoG.
• Key figures involved include KUCO Secretary General George Gibore and KUCO Chairperson Peterson Wachira, with Nandi Governor Stephen Sang representing the CoG.
• The agreement includes a risk allowance of Sh5,000 from July 2025, increasing to Sh7,000 from July 2026, and absorption of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) staff into permanent and pensionable terms.

Matatu owners in Kenya are threatening a nationwide strike starting Monday next week due to alleged "lawlessness" by boda boda riders, accusing them of reckless driving, harassment, and vehicle arson. They claim the government has failed to protect their private property despite repeated reports.

• The strike threat comes from the Matatu Owners Association (MOA), led by chairperson Albert Karakacha.
• MOA claims at least nine vehicles have been set alight by boda boda riders in the past six months with no arrests.
• Peter Murima, chair of the Motorists Association of Kenya, stated, "Boda boda operators have become judge, jury and executioner."
