Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has said he would be proposing a law which would make it illegal for nurses and teachers to go on strike.
The MP argued that the servants had developed a habit of paralysing crucial operations in the country subjecting Kenyans to unnecessary pain and frustration.
According to Citizen Digital, the legislator who was speaking in Tharaka Nithi during a funeral service of area Governor Muthomi Njuki’s mother, asked Members of Parliament to support the Bill so that medics and teachers, as well as pilots, are barred from going on strike.
"Things like health, education and pilots, we enact laws in Parliament Mr. Speaker so that those people cannot go on strike," he said.
Kuria caused laughter when he once again stood by his decision to contest for the country's top seat in order to clean up the mess in the country.
Nurses’ strike has paralysed operations in most government and county hospitals across the country.
Through their Secretary General Seth Panyako, nurses have maintained they will not return to work until their 2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) which they signed with county governments is honoured.
National and county governments have, however, maintained they have no money to pay nurses asking them to return to work as they look into their grievances.
