President Uhuru Kenyatta on Wednesday morning while ordering striking nurses to get back to work cited that they have been disobeying a court order.
The head of state who was addressing the nation at Statehouse after meeting Governors noted that it was disheartening to hear officials of the nursing union declare that they will not obey court orders.
President Kenyatta cited One of the most important principles the nation has established is the rule of law and no one is above the law!

However, Activist Bonface Mwangi seems to have read malice in President Kenyatta’s statement and he did not spare him.
Mwangi took on the head of state, telling him how his own administration has disobeyed so many court orders.
The activist told President Kenyatta that nurses are just imitating his own disrespect for Kenyan courts.
His twitter post read, “You know what’s so ironic @UKenyatta? You’re one president whose administration has disobeyed so many court orders. The nurses are just imitating your disrespect for our courts.”
