Federation of Women Lawyers (Fida) has moved to court seeking to find a solution to the ongoing nurse strike.

In the case filed under a certificate of urgency, FIDA argues that the two-month-old strike continues to cause suffering among Kenyans.

 “Fida-Kenya takes specific issue with how the respondents have allowed the strike to prolong with no hope of calling it off.

"It is worse that leaders have taken more interest in the elections campaigns than resolving this public pandemic,” reads the statement issued by chairperson Josephine Mongare.

The body wants the wants the Employment and Labour Relations Court to declare that nurses and doctors have a right to strike.
