Kisii County has stopped the payment of salaries for striking clinicians and nurses with warnings of possible massive sackings for those who refuse to heed the call to return to work. Health Acting Chief Officer Dr Enock Ondari says no health staffer would be spared if they engage in the ‘illegal strike.’The workers say they began receiving the letters last week. In Kisii, the County said the health workers have refused to honour the injunction. Officials said the failure to return to return constitutes a breach of scheme of service. The health care workers are pressing for personal protective gear and insurance for them as they attend to Covid-19 pandemic patients.
