Striking nurses who will act in breach of the Public Order Act will be dealt with firmly, the National Police Service has said. In a statement issued on Thursday, the service also assured the public that adequate security will be provided around public hospitals throughout the striking period. Last week, the court suspended the nurses' strike for 60 days. CoG chairman Wycliffe Oparanya on Tuesday moved to court to challenge the legitimacy of the strike by the Kenya National Union of Nurses. Nurses in 23 counties went on strike on January 4 demanding the implementation of the 2017 return-to-work formula.
