Veterinary interns across Kenya are raising concerns over a two-month delay in receiving their stipends, which they rely on for their daily operations and well-being.
Despite numerous follow-ups, authorities have yet to provide a solution or clear communication, leaving the interns financially strained and affecting their ability to deliver essential care to animals.
The situation has caused considerable distress and the interns are urging the public and relevant bodies to address the issue promptly.
This is what one source who spoke to cnyakundi.com anonymously had to say.
“Dear Cyprian,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an urgent issue affecting many veterinary interns across Kenya. For the past two months, we have not received our stipends, which are crucial for our daily operations and well-being.
Despite multiple follow-ups with the relevant authorities, there has been no resolution or clear communication regarding the delay. As you can imagine, this situation is causing significant stress and financial strain for us, impacting our ability to provide essential care to animals.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could highlight this issue on your platform to help raise awareness and prompt action from the responsible parties. Your support could make a substantial difference in resolving this matter.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
Best regards. Keep me anonymous.”
We urge the Kenya Veterinary Board to step up and address this grave issue without further delay.
Their failure to ensure timely stipend payments for these crucial interns not only jeopardizes their well-being but also threatens the quality of animal care across the nation.
