Clinical Officers End 36-Day Strike as Matatu Operators Announce Nationwide Strike for Feb 2 - January 2026

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. Meanwhile, matatu operators have announced a nationwide strike starting Monday, February 2. They are threatening the strike due to alleged vehicle torching and "lawlessness" by boda boda operators. The matatu owners claim the government has failed to protect their private property and plan to block major roads until their concerns are addressed.
