The Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) has issued a 26-day nationwide strike notice, effective July 7, after the government failed to address their long-standing grievances.
The Union Secretary General, Seth Panyako, while addressing the press on Thursday, May 29, accused the government of consistently ignoring their grievances, which touched on key labour issues.
According to Panyako, several union grievances remain unresolved, with some spanning over seven years despite frequent appeals for the government's intervention.
Panyako revealed that, beginning July 7, all nurses countrywide would down their tools to demand immediate staff employment on permanent and pensionable terms under the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) programme.
