Clinical officers in Nairobi protested on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, demanding that Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale sign a long-pending agreement regarding their welfare and a presidential directive for permanent and pensionable contracts.

• The clinical officers accused the Ministry of Health of delaying the implementation of an agreement negotiated and submitted in September 2025.
• Union leaders emphasized that Treasury and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) had already complied with the agreement.
• The protestors feel discriminated against and believe the Ministry does not appreciate their contributions to the health sector.
