Nurses’ strike in kakamega County has been called off amid descending voices.
Issuing the statement in Kakamega today, the Kakamega Union Chairman Eliud Molenje said that it was due to public good that the nurses in the County returned to work to salvage the sinking health sector in the County.
The county minister assured the nurses that the health administration would review the planned disciplinary actions in their favor .
However, the Kenya Union of Nurses Secretary General Seth Panyako maintained that the strike is still on and that the Kakamega Union Chairman has no mandate to call off a strike he did not initiate.
Panyako added that nurses in Kakamega have taken a wrong by returning to work without any return to work formula which is likely to attract disciplinary actions from the County government.
Bulunya on the other hand, maintained that he is still the official SG for Kakamega County and the only one mandated to end the strike alleging that Molenje’s pronouncement was hot air.
