What happened
The planned transition of thousands of Universal Health Coverage workers to permanent and pensionable terms in Kenya has triggered a debate over how their salaries will be financed. Members of parliament are demanding a predictable funding framework to prevent payment delays and mounting county arrears.

Why it matters
The debate focuses on how workers’ remuneration will be funded while the Commission on Revenue Allocation prepares revenue sharing recommendations for the 2027/28 financial year. Unpredictable disbursements could undermine county governments’ ability to meet financial obligations and deliver essential services.
