Court halts nationwide nurses' strike, orders immediate return to work Health 16 min ago
Crippled services The nationwide strike, which began on July 29, has crippled services in public hospitals across the country, prompting the Mombasa County Government and the Mombasa County Public Service Board to move to court seeking orders to halt the industrial action.
In a supporting affidavit, Mombasa County Public Service Board Chief Executive Officer Fadhil Maamun said the county had attempted to avert the strike by inviting KNUN officials for talks before the seven-day strike notice took effect, but the union proceeded with the industrial action before negotiations could bear fruit.
