Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and Universal Health Coverage staff have clashed over the payment of gratuity.

The CS insists that the gratuity for all UHC staff will be processed upon contract expiry. Duale said the decision is part of an agreement reached during a meeting between the ministry, Council of Governors, UHC workers representatives and healthcare workers unions.
