Civil servants have threatened to stage a nationwide strike from Monday, March 18, if the government fails to resolve the ongoing medical cover dispute linked to the Public Officers Medical Fund (POMF).
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) and the Union of Kenya Civil Servants (UKCS) in a statement on Tuesday, March 3, accused the government of failing to pay hospital bills under the POMF scheme, leaving public servants stranded despite monthly deductions.
