KEThousands of healthcare interns in Kenya are threatening to strike starting August 31, 2026, due to delayed salary payments. The interns accuse the government of failing to honor a commitment made by the Ministry of Health to pay their dues by July 25, 2026. They claim the delay has forced many to struggle with basic needs like food, housing, and transportation, and to accumulate debt. The interns plan to march to the Ministry of Health headquarters in Nairobi and seek support from several unions. While acknowledging potential disruptions to patient care, they blame the Ministry for not fulfilling its obligations. The Public Health Principal Secretary, Mary Muthoni, explained the delay as part of the process of onboarding approximately 6,800 interns onto the government payroll.
