[Omondi Onyango, Standard]Mombasa County residents can now breathe a sigh of relief after health workers in four unions ended a three-month strike yesterday. The health workers downed tools on November 15, last year, paralysing services in public health facilities in the county. County Health Executive Godfrey Nato and County Secretary Joab Tumbo, who addressed journalists at governor Hassan Joho’s boardroom, said they finally agreed on all the issues that sparked the strike. Elsewhere, the process to evict more than 400 sacked health workers occupying government houses in Taita-Taveta County kicked off yesterday. Health and Sanitation Chief Officer Philomen Kirote confirmed the affected health workers had been given up to February 5 to vacate the government houses.
