By Ahmed Salat Aaran Tv Ke Operations at Wajir County Referral Hospital were disrupted on Friday after a section of health workers downed their tools, protesting stalled promotions and delayed career progression. The affected staff—comprising nurses, pharmacists, clinical officers and laboratory technicians—resorted to a go-slow, significantly slowing service delivery at the county’s main referral facility.
