More than 500 nutritionists and dieticians trained under a government-sponsored internship programme have sued the Public Service Commission (PSC) and Ministry of Health (MoH) over unpaid stipends.
They claim in their case at the Industrial Court in Mombasa that though they successfully completed their training, they are yet to be paid.
