Vets push for pay to match medical peers
Dr Osore said proposals made in 2007 to harmonise veterinary salaries with those of medical doctors have not been implemented despite repeated engagements with the State Department for Livestock Development and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission.
Veterinary doctors and veterinary interns serving in the public sector have petitioned Parliament to harmonise their salaries and allowances with those of medical doctors.
The Kenya Veterinary Association said that despite comparable training periods, professional responsibilities, statutory mandates, public health roles, and occupational risks with their medical counterparts, veterinary officers continue to receive inequitable remuneration that is not commensurate with their duties.
