But in a notice on April 9, SRC Chairperson Lyn Mengich said the due process was not followed adding that such an award is 'unlawful and causes inequality' in remuneration across the country. If Machakos decides to pay its health workers and another county thinks otherwise, we are all free to proceed in our preferred direction," Mutua said. In a statement on Sunday, Mutua said SRC are 'overreaching in a very bad way' at the wrong time and at the wrong individuals. "Kenya is not just for the rich who can afford to be treated in private hospitals... I therefore want health workers in Kenya appreciated and motivated because it is good for all Kenyans."
