Sugar Workers End Strike Over KSh 10.8bn Deal; Clinical Officers Secure Pay Rise - February 2026

Sugar factory workers in Kenya have suspended their nationwide strike following an agreement with the Government. The deal involves KSh 10.8 billion to begin payment of long-standing salary arrears and terminal benefits. In a separate development, clinical officers have also secured a significant pay raise of 25–30% after months of protests. This was achieved after the signing of a collective bargaining agreement with all 47 counties. Following the agreements, both the sugar workers and the clinical officers called off their respective strikes.
