The Kenya Environmental Health and Public Health Practitioners Union (KEHPHPU) has expressed concern over the increase in the monthly mileage allowance for Members of Parliament (MPs).
In a statement, the Union's Secretary-General Brown Ashira highlighted the disparity in resource allocation, pointing out that while MPs' allowances are being increased, health professionals continue to struggle with increased workloads, poor working conditions, and inadequate compensation.
