Nurses have vowed to continue their nationwide strike until the government fully implements the 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) Secretary-General Seth Panyako said the union had yet to reach an agreement with the Council of Governors (CoG) on the CBA, despite progress on other demands.

“Unless we have an agreeable agreement, we will press on with our strike,” Panyako said.
