The Council of Governors (CoG) has withdrawn a suit filed against the Kenya National Union of Nurses (Knun). The suit was filed when the nurses were on strike, paralysing operations across public health facilities Countrywide.
CoG withdrew the case, Monday, after the parties entered a Recognition Agreement with the national government, ending the two-weeks strike, December 14.
Governors had filed the suit after nurses ignored a Court order declaring the strike illegal.
The strike which started on December 5, 2016, saw nurses demanding for a 20 per cent pay hike, as agreed in a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
Through Knun secretary general Seth Panyako, nurses had warned that they would stop at nothing until their salaries are hiked.
