Le sénateur Cherargei propose un salaire de 18 000 KES pour les promoteurs de santé communautaires

Le sénateur du comté de Nandi, Samson Cherargei, a demandé que les promoteurs de santé communautaires reçoivent un salaire mensuel de 18 000 KES au lieu de leur allocation actuelle de 5 000 KES.

Lors d'un forum public le 13 juin, Cherargei a déclaré que la rémunération actuelle ne respectait pas les normes constitutionnelles du salaire minimum et ne permettait pas de soutenir les travailleurs face aux pressions économiques.

Cherargei a souligné le rôle des promoteurs dans la prestation de soins de santé primaires, notamment la vérification de la tension artérielle et du taux de glycémie, ainsi que la distribution de médicaments aux ménages.

Il a également soutenu les projets visant à titulariser les travailleurs de la couverture santé universelle après six ans de contrat, affirmant que le gouvernement national les embaucherait si les gouvernements des comtés refusaient de le faire.

Le Conseil des gouverneurs s'est opposé à cette mesure, invoquant la nécessité d'un financement suffisant et d'accords formels concernant les transferts de masse salariale.
