President Uhuru Kenyatta has ordered all protesting nurses to go back to work by latest Friday, February 15, at 8am, failure to which serious action will be taken against them.
The president also directed the Kenya National Police Service to henceforth arrest and lock up any nurse who would be found participating in the strike during working hours.
Addressing the press on Wednesday morning, a visibly angry Uhuru warned any nurse who would not resume duty by Friday as directed would be dismissed by both the county government and the Ministry of Health.
