Employees of Kenyatta National Hospital have threatened to go on strike next week if they are not paid their outstanding allowances.

At least 4,700 workers are expected to boycott duty from August 6 after the Government failed to pay their allowances as recommended by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission in March 2015.
