PresidentKenyatta added that the county government and Health Ministry to dismiss any nurse who fails to report to work.
According to the president, the respective county governments will be at liberty to take action as they deem appropriate.

“The strike is a right and properly in place, we shall give them directions,” said Seth Panyako.

On his Twitter account, NRM general pointed out that the president has no power and moral right to force citizens to obey court orders when he failed to obey 6 judges and deported him.
“The tyrant Uhuru Kenyatta has zero moral and legal authority to “order” anyone to obey court orders when he has disobeyed 15 valid court orders by more than 6 judges. Let him obey Justice Chacha Mwita’s Judgment of Dec. 14, 2018, first. #PayNursesKE”, he tweeted.
