Five health workers' unions have issued Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa with a three-day ultimatum to resolve a standoff over the signing of a long-awaited Recognition Agreement, accusing the County Attorney of frustrating the process and warning that they will withdraw their members' services if the matter is not addressed.
The unions claim County Attorney Vivian Mmbaka deliberately failed to attend the scheduled signing ceremony on Tuesday, an action they say derailed efforts to formalise labour relations between the county government and thousands of public health workers.
The signing ceremony, which had been expected to last about two hours, dragged on for the better part of the day without yielding any agreement after officials from the County Attorney's office reportedly failed to turn up.
