[PHOTO: ELVIS OGINA/STANDARD]Health workers went on a nationwide strike yesterday, accusing the Government of dishonesty in their pay hike talks. The Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) and Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists' Union (KMPDU) both accused the Government of failing to honour deals from 2013 that awarded improved salaries. Panyako said they not only wanted the CBA signed, but the Government would also have to assure them that there was money to implement the deal. "There are huge disparities in salaries among health workers which must be harmonised before we can call off the strike," Panyako said. The Government will either pay doctors or it will have none of them," he said.
