Relief has been experienced by patients at Kiambu following a round table meeting with the government and the Kenya Natinal Union of Nurses(KNUN)-Embu chapter officials that led to the Embu nurses calling off their strike.
Making the announcement, Embu Governor Martin Wambora said both parties had reached a return to work formula.
“My Government will meet obligations herein signed by the National Government and County Government and abide by the Constitution of Kenya 2010,” Wambora said.
“We shall engage in dialogue onwards with concerned parties to avert such obscene scenes in future.”
The county boss said the unity pact witnessed on Monday will be a huge stride towards the achievement of universal health for all.
Meanwhile the Nairobi County workers were taken to courtby the Salaries and Renumeration Commission.
The standoff between City Hall workers and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) is now headed to the corridors of justice.
The workers, who downed their tools on February 12 , have vowed to stay away until their demands for a salary increase are met.
“The strike is still on and we will not be at work tomorrow (Monday). We will report at City Hall for a small briefing then march to court. We will halt our demonstrations so that the entire work force goes there,”said Benson Olianga Nairobi branch secretary of the Kenya County Government Workers Union(KCGWU).
