Kisumu Governor Anyang Nyong'o has threatened to remove the names of striking health workers from the county's payroll. Nyongo in a statement on Thursday said he will effect the move should the health workers fail to report to their work stations by Friday, June 12 at 8.30 am. The governor said the strike which is in its third day, was unreasonable and is subjecting innocent citizens to unwarranted suffering. "I declare that the strike is baseless and in bad faith, contrary to the ethics and call of duty of health workers in particular and civil servants in general," Nyong'o said. He stressed there was absolutely no genuine reason to proceed on with the strike by the health workers.
