About 170 Kenyan health workers will be offered a monthly salary of up to $5,000 (Sh450,000) in Sierra Leone and Liberia where they have volunteered to help contain the deadly Ebola virus.
The health workers will leave for West Africa Friday afternoon in two chartered Kenya Airways flights – which stopped flying to the two Ebola-hit countries in September – and will be there for between three to six months under an African Union (AU) mission.
