A presidential directive issued on Wednesday to striking nurses to resume work by Friday was ignored as most of them stayed away from their workstations, taking the industrial action into its 11th day.
Addressing a press conference yesterday, Labour Cabinet secretary Ukur Yattani said that conciliatory committee meetings between the nurses’ union and county governments were underway. He added that the committee was set to meet with the Salaries and Remunerations Commission (SRC) and later with the Ministry of Health.
