The Salaries and Remuneration Commission has asked governors not to reward health workers without following due process. Through a letter addressed to Council of Governors chairperson Wycliffe Oparanya, SRC referred to Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua who decided to reward health workers in his county with allowances. On Wednesday, Mutua announced that he will reward health workers in his county due to their sacrifices in COVID-19. Other professional health workers - doctors, nurses, clinical officers etc will receive Sh 10,000 while supportive health worker cadres will receive Sh5000. In addition to the allowances, we are ensuring that we are providing adequate masks to all health workers,” said the governor.
