Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka and Bungoma Senator Moses Wetang’ula on Saturday asked counties and health workers to engage in dialogue to find a lasting solution for the issues affecting them. He said if the health workers go on strike, every other Kenyan poor or rich, children or the old will be affected. "I want to call upon both national and county governments to sit down with health workers and find a solution to this stalemate," he said. Lusaka urged governors to have a roundtable discussion with nurses to forestall their strike planned on Monday in 23 counties. The nurses are accusing the county governments of failing to implement their return-to-work agreement they signed in November 2017.
