By ALEX NJERUMore by this AuthorKenya National Union of Nurses (Knun) chairman Joseph Ngwasi has dismissed claims by government spokesperson Eric Kiraithe that the ongoing nurse’ strike was politically instigated. Mr Ngwasi said the union was not taking any order or directive from politicians allied to the Opposition National Super Alliance (Nasa). “We are demanding our rights as a union and we are not inclined to any political side,” said Mr Ngwasi. Mr Ngwasi however expressed concern that the effect of the strike was far reaching as new-born babies were not getting immunizations posing a great risk to their lives. The official asked nurses to stay put and dismiss any call by county or national government to end the strike before their demands are met.
