On September 9, 2019, the Nurses Union KNUN publicly disowned the ongoing strike at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), stating it was irrelevant.
The union's decision comes as the strike, which began on August 21, 2019, enters its second week. The strike was called by the Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) in a bid to push for better working conditions and higher salaries for nurses.
However, in a surprising move, KNUN has now distanced itself from the strike, terming it 'irrelevant'. The union's decision has left many wondering about the future of the strike and the fate of the nurses' demands.
