The Council of Governors has called on nurses across the country to end the ongoing industrial strike, saying it is illegal.
Chairperson Ahmed Abdullahi on Monday directed individual governors and county public service boards to take action against health workers who have defied court orders to return to work.
Speaking during an Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) meeting chaired by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, Abdullahi said the dispute stems from a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) signed in the run-up to the 2017 General Election.
According to him, the agreement signed under duress has never been fully implemented and was not financially sustainable.
