Siaya County has ascertained its commitment to enhance the welfare of nurses employed in the various facilities within the county.
The executive affirmed this following the picketing by the nurses under their county union officials on Monday, January 2025.
The healthcare workers took to the streets of Siaya town with placards as they marched from Siaya County Referral Hospital to the Governor's Office in efforts to seek an audience with the county's leadership to express their frustrations.
The nurses stated that amongst their key demands was that their employer furnish them with promotion letters as promised in previous engagements, which led to their ultimatum to strike if not met by the deadline they had issued that expired, leading to them enacting their threat to down tools.
