President Kenyatta has ordered striking nurses across the country to return to work immediately.
Addressing the nation from State House on Wednesday, Kenyatta says the health workers have until 8 am on Friday to return to work, failure to which they will be sacked.
“As the Commander in Chief of the Kenya Defense Forces, I have instructed National Police Service to take stern action on picketers who may intimidate public servants who intend to go to work,” Kenyatta says.
Kenyatta has directed the Ministry of Health as well as county governments to dismiss nurses who fail to return to work by Friday.
“It is disheartening to learn that some of our nurses have decided to engage in an unlawful withdrawal of their labor to Kenyans against the determination of the Employment and Labor Relations Court which suspended any industrial action for 60 days,” President Kenyatta notes.
He has also condemned the leadership of the nurses’ union for disregarding court orders directing the health workers to return to work.
The Kenya National Union of Nurses has maintained that its members would not resume their duties despite the court declaring the strike illegal.
The health workers downed their tools on February 4th to demand allowances and promotions.

Bitter Bitch Syndrome: When a bitch (sorry for the foul language but to me its a term of endearment) is bitter about her life and the things that have happened to her and decides to take it out on the world

Uhuru Kenyatta is a just a Bitter Bitch.His sisters stole money for the nurses and doctors.They stole it.A guy called Mailu stole the money..MAFYA house scandal.It happened FOR REAL.
Pay the nurses.
Kenyans please stay away from government hospitals.you don’t want an Hungry and Angry nurse taking care of you.

Mama Ngina (Uhuru Kenyatta mother) children stole “pesa za wagojwaa”..They stole from ‘The sick”!!
uhuru Kenyatta is buying alcoh with pesa za wagojwa…I can’t !
A guy called Mailu also, buys food for his family with money he stole from sick people.I can’t eat such food.
Only religious organizations should be allowed to run hospitals in Kenya.
Jomo Kenyatta failed as a parent.Let be real.
When your children are stealing from the sick, you have failed as a parent.

The boy in statehouse never fails to disappoint. His ignorance and arrogance knows no limits. When you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth and have not known a single day of hard work it’s impossible to appreciate the the burden your government is to ordinary Kenyans. Looting of borrowed money and taxes are the order of the day but your focus is on nurses who struggle everyday to serve Kenyans who unlike you can fly to Europe, Us and Dubai for every simple ailment.
Never seen a country that…
Never seen a country that mistreats nurses like Kenyan government. Those who think they will one day need a nurse one day in their lives ought to support their strike because these politicians would rather go to other countries where nurses are valued and appreciated.
This is how you know…
This is how you know handshake was a success

I feel so sad for New-born babies.
Especially new-born babies with complications.
They need to pay the nurses and doctors.the Kenya government should stop attacking New-born babies.
Mpigs, governors, MCA’s…
Mpigs, governors, MCA’s spend our money recklessly as if it’s going out of version. Kindero seats on hundreds of thousands of our money, so does Waiguru (NYS), Cabinet secretary of NYS, Ojaamong, judges who have been bribed at every court seating and you cannot stand nurses agitating for a little share of their seat and blood? Mac’s, MP’s, senators and governors go for a little retreat in Naivasha or Mombasa and spend millions of shillings wining and dining on people’s money they leave their mansions in Nyeri for 5 star hotels under the guise of debating a proposal that can very well be done in their government buildings in Nyeri! Stop this nonsense and govern or go home. Collect all the money stolen by your crooked elite friends and pay the nurses. A nurse buys a bread same price as your spoiled thieving leaders. Ride on nurses, your labor, your right. A fight for your labor is a fight for human Rights.
Wakae nyumbani mpaka walipwe…
Wakae nyumbani mpaka walipwe.The mpigs should offer their salaries to b brot dwn so the nurses can earn more cash like them.So mr president don’t give yr empty talks.Other day raila mwizi was awarded 800k monthly n cars for what??Killing economy n our pple then he is offered hundreds thousands.So nurses karen i nyumbani mpaka mlipwe.
The government has itself to…
The government has itself to blame.What do you expect when a certain segment(Mpigs) of the society makes up their own salary,and benefits?Not only that, but these Mpigs earn much more than their counterparts in nations that have much higher GDP,and per capita income than ours.Add that to losers getting plum jobs they never even asked for…
This issue with the nurses,just like that one of teachers should have been solved long time ago.You dont see Mpigs striking,because they are over paid.Just pay the nurses what they are worth,and the issue will be solved.
