Let it be known that nurses are not on strike at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) purposefully because of the assault on one of our own. The assault only triggered what led to the downing of tools. The main reason is poor management of nurses at the facility, which has made them live like fugitives.
The management has declined to allow the nurses to join unions of their choice, contrary to articles 36 and 41 of the Constitution, yet doctors and support staff in the same facility belong to respective trade unions.
