KNH inahakikishia huduma hazitakatizwa wakati wa maandamano ya watahiniwa

Hospitali ya Taifa ya Kenyatta (KNH) imehakikishia kuwa huduma zake hazitakatizwa licha ya taarifa za watahiniwa wa kupiga kazi kutokana na deni la michango ya sheria. Maandamano hayo yamepangwa kwa leo, Aprili 13, 2026. KNH inasema inashughulikia malalamiko kupitia mazungumzo.

Hospitali ya Taifa ya Kenyatta (KNH) imetoa taarifa rasmi tarehe 12 Aprili 2026, ikihakikishia umma kuwa huduma zake za afya maalum hazitakatizwa. Hii inafuata taarifa za Jumuiya ya Taifa ya Watahiniwa na Wasaidia wa Kenya (KNUN) kuhusu uwezekano wa kupiga kazi kutokana na deni la michango ya sheria na masuala ya ustawi wa wafanyakazi.

Kiongozi Mkuu wa Katibu wa KNUNM, Seth Panyako, alielezea malalamiko yakijumuisha ukosefu wa fedha za kutosha, mikataba ya muda mrefu ya kazi za bajeti, pensheni zisizolipwa, na mbinu zisizo za haki za kuajiri. "KNH haina fedha za kutosha. Tuna watahiniwa ambao wamekuwa wakifanya kazi za bajeti kwa miaka 4 hadi 6. Wanapata mishahara, lakini benki zinahifadhi mishahara kwa sababu michango ya sheria haijapelekwa," alisema Panyako. Aliongeza, "Huwezi kuwaajiri watu kutoka nje na wape mishahara zaidi kuliko wale waliokuwepo miaka mitano, hilo si haki."

KNH ilibainisha kuwa mzozo unahusu ucheleweshaji wa michango ya sheria na ya watu wa tatu, si mishahara isiyolipwa. Ilithibitisha kuwa mishahara yote ya wafanyakazi imesindikwa na kulipwa hadi Machi 2026. Hospitali ilisema wakati wa michango unaathiriwa na mizunguko ya fedha na malipo kutoka mipango ya ufadhili wa afya ya taifa.

Kuhusu pensheni, KNH inasema inafuata mfumo uliopo. Wengi wa wafanyakazi wa afya wamebadilika kuwa na ajira za kudumu. Uongozi wa hospitali umeahidi mazungumzo na wawakilishi wa wafanyakazi, miungano na wadau wa serikali ili kutatua masuala.
