Taita Taveta Governor Andrew Mwadime has assured 1,400 Community Health Promoters (CHPs) that their stipend arrears will be paid this week after a year of waiting and disappointment.

The CHPs were to receive a monthly stipend of Sh5,000 each, with the county and national governments contributing half of the amount. However, while the national government has consistently paid its share, the county has not remitted its portion since the inception of the programme a year ago.
