Health workers in Kisumu say they will proceed with their strike on Tuesday after negotiations led by the county assembly fell through. The county announced that already over 1,000 health workers have been promoted, save for 144 because of budget constraints. Awili said the Assembly will not resolve any dispute between the county and the health workers due to mistrust. They include Kenya National Union of Nurses secretary Maurice Opetu, Kenya Union of Clinical Officers secretary Craus Okumu, Kenya National Union of Medical Laboratory Officers secretary Hilary Awili, Union of Kenya Civil Servants secretary Peter Oluoch and National Union of Pharmaceutical Technologists' chairman Hannington Onyango. The letter has been copied to the Health executive, Health chief officer, Public Service Board secretary, county assembly clerk and all the general secretaries of the unions.
