Health workers unions are aggrieved by President William Ruto's stand that the government will not borrow money to pay them.

The unions, including the Kenya Medical Practitioners Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) and Kenya Union of Clinical Officers (Kuco), now claim that the government may have decided to wage a silent war against healthcare workers.
