By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorA court has pardoned Kenya National Union of Nurses Secretary-General Seth Panyako and two other officials who had been found guilty of contempt. The three were found guilty of this offence for failing to call off the nurses' strike despite being directed to do so. The government filed the contempt case on February 15 after KNUN members failed to return to work as directed by President Uhuru Kenyatta. Mr Panyako and the two other officials were asked to appear in court in person on Tuesday for their punishment to be stated. They told Labour court justice Nelson Abuodha that they had not been served with court documents and that they had called off the strike.
