There are 9,918 healthcare professionals in16 different cadres who were recruited on a three-year contract in May, 2020 under the Universal Health Care (UHC). They were deployed across all counties and national Government health facilities where they were remunerated at a consolidated pay of Kshs50,000 and Kshs40,000 per month for diploma and certificate holders respectively. Upon the expiry of their contracts twice, in May, 2023 and May, 2024, renewals were effected, culminating in the latest one that will come to a close in May,2026 to allow time for the finalisation of their absorption into permanent and pensionable terms to the counties where they work."

(1) Could the Cabinet Secretary highlight the programmes in the health sector that will be affected by the decision by the American Government to withdraw funding from aid-funded health care programmes in the country with particular focus on how such withdrawal affects the health sector in Kirinyaga County? (2) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a breakdown of the budget for the affected programmes in the country? (3) What action is the Cabinet Secretary taking to ensure that critical services under the affected programmes do not stop, and thus avert the likelihood of putting healthcare in jeopardy in the counties and at the national level?"
