    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the Petition concerning alleged discrimination against other health workers in the Ministry of Health was tabled in the Senate on 20th July, 2023. About 43 Supply Chain Management Assistants from Kitui County countersigned the Petition on behalf of other Supply Chain Management Assistants from the 47 counties, with the lead Petitioner being Mr. Elijah Muthungi. The Petitioners were concerned that the Supply Chain Management Assistants deployed across all the county governments, including health facilities, where they offer essential services such as receiving, storing and issuing pharmaceutical and non- pharmaceutical items, among other duties, being on call all weekends and holidays and during emergencies, are not considered for allowances despite the compendium of remuneration and benefits for the Public Service of December, 2022, requiring that all health workers receive health service allowances and extraneous allowances. The petitioners then prayed that the Senate addresses the grievances and ensures that the Supply Chain Management Assistants deployed in health facilities in the counties benefit from health services allowances and extraneous allowances and that no health worker is discriminated against. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
