Public health services in three Rift Valley counties were paralysed as nurses and clinical officers downed their tools over unresolved grievances affecting their work.
In Kericho County, members of the Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) were protesting the delay in the implementation of the 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) by the county government.
Led by their local chapter chairman Peter Rono, the nurses accused Governor Eric Mutai’s administration of ignoring their grievances by failing to sign the CBA.His sentiments were echoed by KNUN Secretary General, Kericho chapter, Geoffrey Tarus, who said they are not going to return to work until their demands are met.
