Kenyatta National Hospital employees will go on strike on Monday next week if their salaries and allowances are not reviewed. The hundreds of doctors, nurses and non-medical staff held peaceful protests within KNH premises on Friday, during which their unions gave the strike notice. The unions claim the recategorisation should have come with a salary incrementof all 7,000 workers, a discordant view from that of the KNH management and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission. Lowly paid non-medical workers in job group K13, who earn Sh23,810 would now take home about Sh27,509. But the workers say they will hear none of this and gave their seven-day strike notice last week.
