The Kenya Environmental Health and Public Health Practitioners’ Union (KEHPHPU) has accused Nairobi City County of unlawfully deploying unqualified personnel to manage the Food Hygiene and Medical Certification Unit at City Hall.
KEHPHPU warns that the move has compromised food safety and exposed Nairobi residents to serious public health risks.
In a statement issued on Monday, the union condemned what it termed as systemic mismanagement of the critical public health docket, saying the irregular deployment had weakened food hygiene enforcement and opened loopholes for fake food handlers’ certificates.
