National Nurses Association of Kenya Members on Strike

National Nurses Association of Kenya (Nnak) has called strike on Monday against the government ignorance towards wages' negotiations.

Strike is usually a good method to let the concerned people let know when they ignore their duties and fail to keep their promises. Finance Ministry of Israel had committed to take care of wage negotiations a few months ago but had failed to make any changes.

Expressing their wrath against the government ignoring the promise the nurses union called on strike on December 3, 2012. The strike is likely to hit the health services potentially as anticipated.

It will cause serious problems in the health system as it's a known fact that alone doctors cannot help patients as they also need nurses.

The Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied workers (Kudheia) is requesting the nurses union on strike to end the strike at the earliest while the Labor Federation is asking government to take up negotiations as soon as possible.

"All of this happens while, the private health system meant only for those who can afford it, is expanding. This is a distorted situation that requires remedy", said Shelly Yacimovich, the Labor Chairwoman.
