Nurses in Nandi County have dismissed reports that they had called off their strike.
Led by the branch Kenya National Union of Nurses (Knun) chairman Paul Sang, the nurses further disowned their secretary general Amos Ng'etich who on Friday declared that the strike had been called off.
Speaking to the press at Nandi County Referral Hospital in Kapsabet town, Sang said Ng'etich is an imposter and has no authority to call off the strike since he is not even the nurses union official.
"That person who purported to have called off the strike is neither our Union official nor a member hence has no mandate to do so," noted Sang.
He insisted that nurses in the county are still on strike and will only resume their duties once a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) has been signed and implemented.
Nurses across the country are on strike which enters its 15th day, Monday, demanding the implementation of a CBA they signed with Council of Governors (CoG).
