The Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) has asked members who have not received their September salaries not to report to work today.

The union said five counties, among them Nairobi, Bomet and Kiambu, have not paid health workers and the medics are now on a go-slow. Nyeri County complied on Monday amid threats of a strike.
