“Other counties have implemented the nurses CBA but for us, our county government has remained adamant," said Oigo.
Linet Mokaya, the vice chair of Kisii County nurses petitioned Governor Ongwae to honor their CBA so that they can get back to their roles as quickly as possible to prevent more suffering of Kisii County residents.
“The County boss should wake up from his deep slumber and save the people,” spoke Linet.
The vice chair stressed that Ongwae should be dedicated to serving the people that elected him to office. She emphasized that they won’t resume to work till their CBA is honored.
