Striking clinical officers have vowed not to return to work until Sh3.5 billion is set aside to employ them on permanent and pensionable terms.

The Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (Kuco) national chairman Peterson Wachira said the 700 clinicians who are on their 58th day of strike will not relent until they get the Sh1 billion health risk allowance.
