Healthcare workers at the Kenyatta National Hospital have threatened to go on strike from next Monday, accusing the facility of failing to implement a proposed salary review. They said the hospital's management has failed to implement the proposal despite several attempts to have the matter resolved. He said that the Salaries and Remuneration Commission re-categorised KNH status to status of PC 7A which is supposed to come with an increment in salaries but that didn't happen. "The unionisable workers at KNH have said if the recategorisation is not effected - meaning more pay comes into their bank accounts - they will go on strike in the next seven days," he said. "For KNH, our position is that it is SRC that has the mandate to unlock the impasse."
