Vihiga nurses will go on strike on Monday if the county government fails to pay their January salaries by Saturday. Kenya National Union of Nurses Vihiga chairman Zadock Miheso said they will cripple health services if the county officials fail to meet their obligation. Vihiga Health CEC Amos Kutwa said he could not comment on the matter because it involved the payment of salaries. He said the assembly had factored Sh450 million to settle those pending bills as directed by President Uhuru Kenyatta. This development comes as the newly recruited health workers continue a court battle over their fate.
