Kenya National Union of Nurses (KNUN) has revealed that some National Super Alliance leaders (NASA) are behind the nurses’ strike.
According to KNUN Secretary General Seth Panyako, the Council of Governors chairman Josephat Nanok (Turkana Governor) and Kisii Governor James Ongwae are responsible for the prolonged boycott.
Mr Panyako, stated on Saturday that the two NASA leaders are playing hardball on resolving the stalemate and therefore frustrating the health officials.

"Ministry of Labour called for a conciliation meeting between the national government, county governments and union of nurses and the two officials boycotted. We presented ourselves before the conciliator, but both the county and national government did not turn up only for the strike to be termed illegal.
"As a union, we are surprised people fighting and crying for justice are the same individuals frustrating the nurses of this country," Panyako pointed out.
The vocal SG indicated that the two leaders should meet the union officials to finally resolve the issue that is hurting many Kenyans.
Panyako reiterated that no amount of intimidation will make them change their position.
“We would like to tell our members that the strike is still on course and nothing has changed so far. All our members should continue until we get to an agreement with the Council of Governors,” he said.
James Ongwae, is the chairman of the Human Resource, Labour and Social Welfare Committee of the Governors Council.
