NAIROBI, Kenya Oct 29 – Nursing officer interns are facing financial difficulties following delays in the payment of their July 2026 stipends, the Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives has said.

I therefore, request the payment of the outstanding stipends, to enable them continue with their program uninterrupted,” he said.
