The health department in Laikipia County has refuted claims that they have not honoured the Nurses Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) signed last year between the nurses’ union and the Council of Governors.
The claims were made by the Union’s Secretary General Seth Panyako who named Laikipia as among the counties that have not honoured the agreement.
However, the County acting Health and Public Service Chief Officer Donald Moghoi noted that the county has implemented the CBA and all nurses have been paid and are working.
Moghoi said that 100 nurses who have not received their salaries have nothing to worry since their dues are being processed and the money will be in their bank accounts by Monday.
The sentiments were confirmed by Laikipia Nurses Union Chairperson Purity Matu who spoke on phone noting that they have started receiving their pay and all the issues regarding the CBA were settled.
