The Kenya National Union of Nurses has vowed to continue with their strike currently affecting 13 counties until their demands are met.
The Union officials say the industrial action can only be called off by their respective county public service boards who are their legitimate employer.
Nurses in nine more counties are set to begin their strike on Monday if the respective county governments fail to honor the contentious 2017 Return to Work Agreement.
The Union Secretary General, Seth Panyako says nurses in 13 counties are on strike and beginning Monday next week their colleagues in nine other counties will follow suit.
If the threat by the nurses union officials is anything to go by, then from next week medical services will be paralyzed in a total of 24 counties.
The industrial action is in phases and started on Monday 4th this year with nurses in seven counties downing tools.
