Clinical officers will receive a salary increase of approximately Sh10,000 or more, following the signing of the country's first-ever Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between healthcare workers and county governments.
The deal guarantees each clinical officer a fixed risk allowance of Sh4,000, as well as additional increments ranging between Sh6,000 and Sh15,000 from the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) salary review, depending on job group.
