Chuka hospital nurses went on strike early last week after they complained of delayed payment of their salaries. They said that they will not go back to their work places until they are renumerated.
Addressing the issue, the health minister spoke in a manner in which many residents said it was very harsh. Nurses also termed her speech as abusive.
On suturday during the discussion held by radio citizen, darubini ya county, the minister was asked to adress the issue. She said that she talked so because before the strike she held a meeting with health officers and discussed about the delayed salary. They agreed to wait until a certain date but on the following day nurses had already striked. This forced the health minister to address them harshly due to the pain she had knowing that many will loose their lives and she had already sat with the officials and agreed to wait.
