Dr Mutua has now called for the disbandment of the commission, saying it is overstepping its mandate. MONTHLY ALLOWANCESpeaking in Mavoko Sub-County offices, Dr Mutua said that his administration plans to pay each health worker a special monthly allowance ranging between Sh5,000 and Sh20,000 for the next three months. Advertisement“In my respectful opinion, this circular is not only in bad taste but also completely out of tune with the mood and best interest of Kenyans,” said Dr Mutua. If Machakos decides to pay its health workers and another county thinks otherwise, we are all free to proceed in our preferred direction. MOTIVATE WORKERSDr Mutua said that the Machakos County government will continue to give allowances to its employees, and especially the health workers, and will even look for other ways of motivating them.
