we did it and the council officially lowered the fees. i cant believe how much power we had when we actually stood together on this. now we just need to keep an eye on things to make sure the changes stick for good.

We as public health trained practitioners would like to petition and seek redress over the matter regarding payment of Ksh 20,000 Council examination fees as a prerequisite to being licensed as a public health practitioner. We feel that the figure of Ksh 20,000 is exorbitant, and is not a reflection of all the other health cadres board examination fees and outrightly unfair. Public health Interns are never paid for their yearly dedicated services in public facilities and therefore it seems unreasonable to expect them to be able to pay that amount. The association (APHOK) is seemingly silent on the matter and therefore makes us question which body will impartially address any unfair or discriminate issues in the profession in the near future. We appeal to the council to stop the scheduled exams for 2016 until this matter is resolved including revision of the fees.

The fees are extremely high for unemployed graduates who have been rendering free services during the one year internship period and also considering that it was raised almost by triple the initial fee. It's even discouraging to those yet to do internships
We come from poor families remember.you gave us a very short timed notice of paying too much money within a period of 10days where will we get the money from.Please reduce that amount of money its too much.
The fees must be reviewed and the council reconstituted because a lot of us depended on HELB while in school and are now struggling to repay it without income so this 20k is beyond insulting its exploitation of desperate graduates. So sad for the profession
This is being unscruptulous. The 20,000/- is too much, as in, it is far much excess. At most 5,000 can do well for the exams. after all it is not a guarantee we shall be absorbed in the job market straight away. Being practical enough will help.
How are we different from other councils. We pay such an amount with no guarantee you will post us. after the cert its everybody for himself. the body is not considerate and there should be reformation on this matter. Officials in this sector are mining from us. Angry PHO here
Unfortunately
Too much indeed
