00:02Wearing white and carrying placards, dozens of nurses took to the streets of Nairobi,
00:07protesting over what they say is the government's failure to address long-standing Labour grievances.
00:15For many years we have had, since 2017 up to now, push and pullback between SRC and Salary's
00:21International Commission and the Council of Governors. Today we are visiting SRC to tell
00:26us their story and to ask them to issue a letter of no objection on our CBA.
00:34With the strike having started late July, the president of Kenya's National Nurses Association
00:39has voiced concerns about the impact on patients.
00:47The nurse's strike is today entering its 37th day. Public health facilities across the country
00:58are severely affected by this strike. Our concern, as fellow health professionals, is what this
01:09continuing delay is now costing patients and the healthcare system.
01:16The Secretary-General for Clinical Officers' Associations insists action needs to be taken immediately.
01:22It is time now that we are seeing mortalities rising among our mothers and other citizens
01:30residents of this country that can be avoided. If we continue delaying, we will have many more losses.
01:39So our call is for the unions, for the SRC, national government, county government and other stakeholders,
01:51kindly go to the table and have discussed and resolved this issue.
01:58Discussions between the union and Council of Governors have remained at an impasse, leading the nurses
02:03to intensify their protests alongside the strike.
02:15Once again necessary for bonds matured, former staff慢cered groups and statesTEMORE
02:15if indeed we are seeing strong는데, if the juniors of anyone who's playing any kind of
02:15field proceedings will adequately affect the tightness.
02:15They also rallied us of the youngster.
