The national government has assured counties of Sh7.7 billion to absorb workers under Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme.

This emerged on Tuesday after a second extraordinary council meeting between Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale and governors in Nairobi. The governors had demanded that national government sends them the money through Division of Revenue Allocation Act under the county’s equitable sharable revenue.
