Nurses shrug off Uhuru directive as strike bites across countiesPresident Uhuru Kenyatta. Local Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) urged governors to dialogue with the striking nurses to facilitate resumption of duties and end patients' suffering. “We are not going to be intimidated to resume work until our demands are met,” said a nurse who declined to be named. MCAs led by Daniel Kaburu and Lawrence Mukosu, asked the President to order governors to initiate talks with the striking nurses. The situation in Kisumu was not different, with a majority of the 800 striking nurses keeping off their work stations.
