Detectives have arrested a nurse at Moi Referral Hospital, Uasin Gishu County after she allegedly attempted to burn the hospital.

Elizabeth Kavosa Nasongo,was arrested and will be charged of attempted arson.

According to reports, the nurse intentionally set fire to a kitchen which is strategically near the ICU wards.

She allegedly wanted to ensure that the fire spread to the adjoining ICU ward.

Kavosa was arraigned in court before Chief  Magistrate Charles Obulutsa who released her on a cash bail.

Attempts to reach the hospital for more information were futile.

Meanwhile, Nairobi nurses have threaten to put down their tools on December 10, 2018.

They said they would not relent though Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko had threatened that he would sack them if they went on with their plan.

They accused the City Hall boss of infringing on the nurses’ rights and making them work in extreme conditions.

However  Governor Sonko says the strike call is illegal ‘as the county had complied with the signed CBA’.

The governor said he is in the process of hiring new nurses and whoever participates in the planned boycott will go home.

“We have a good working relationship with them and I’m not intimidating them, but if they strike, I will sack them. I do not want to go through that route,” he said.

“We have the capacity of hiring private nurses, but with the working relationship we have, I’ sure they will not engage in the strike.

Sonko said nurses “will be charged with murder” if any patient dies in the wake of the strike. He said the nurses’ increment will be in this month’s salary.
