The Council of Governors (CoG) is cautioning that counties could face a standstill if they are not allocated KES 450 billion in shareable revenue.
The Governors further pointed out that the implementation cost of the doctors’ Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), including payment of arrears, is estimated at KES 5.8 billion and must be considered in the allocation of shareable revenue.
Governor Muthomi Njuki, who also chairs the Health committee at the COG, expressed concern, stating, “I want to address doctors directly and convey that without this funding, even with a new CBA signed, counties won’t be able to honor payment commitments.”
