A twenty-man committee is expected to table a report within 14 days on recommendations made to address the plight of nurses in Nairobi. Acting Health executive Charles Kerich said the committee was formed on Tuesday after a consultative meeting between the nurses and the Nairobi County Government. Secretary of Nairobi branch nurses' union Ediah Muruli said nurses had faith in Governor Mike Sonko's administration to address their grievances. "Even before the court had declared the strike illegal, Nairobi nurses had agreed to suspend the strike to give Sonko and his team the 48 hours he requested to have our allowances paid," Muruli said. Kerich explained that certain issues raised by the nurses could not be solved when the board is not fully constituted.
