A report first leaked to blogger Cyprian Nyakundi indicates that workers at a private hospital in Ugunja sub-County, of Siaya County have not been paid salaries for three months
According to credible accounts from within the facility, staff have gone unpaid for an extended period, stretching several months, with no formal explanation or communication from the hospital’s leadership.
A member of staff has raised alarm over months of unpaid wages, mistreatment, and a toxic work environment.
The situation, described by insiders as both demoralizing and exploitative, is said to have created a toxic working environment where attempts to seek clarity are reportedly met with dismissiveness and hostility.
What’s more troubling are claims that when employees do raise the issue of pay, their concerns are trivialized or brushed off with inappropriate and personal remarks, raising questions about professionalism and respect in the workplace.
The discontent is simmering quietly but steadily, as workers balance their obligations to patients with personal hardship and mounting frustration.
The full extent of the grievances, including specific examples of how staff are allegedly being mistreated, sheds a harsh light on what some describe as a culture of neglect and belittlement within the facility. More details from the source offer deeper insight into the challenges being faced behind closed doors.
“Greetings Cyprian, your work in exposing the rot in the society is commendable and bearing fruits. In that context, I would like to bring to your attention what is happening at St. James Life Care Hospital in Ugunja Subcounty. The facility in the recent past has mistreated its staff. As I type this, the facility has not paid its workers a single cent for the last 3 months with no communication. Attempts by the staff to demand for their salaries are met with arrogance and quarrels. Imagine asking for your salary and the management asking petty questions like “Where is your lab coat?” “You’re married, your husband should be taking care of you.”… Kindly bring to the public what is happening here at St. James Hospital. Hide ID please.”
