Governor Anyang' Nyong'o has pleaded with the Kenya National Union of Nurses (Knun) to call off an ongoing strike over unpaid salaries.

Addressing the Press at his boardroom yesterday, Prof Nyong'o blamed the delay in disbursing nurses salaries on a standoff between the National Assembly, Senate and the counties on revenue allocation.
