Busia, Kenya: Some choices have punitive consequences Drama unfolded in Busia town when area Governor Sopeter Ojaamong and County health workers exchanged bitter words outside the Governor’s office over the state of health in the county and alleged delayed salaries. The health workers, who complained of salary arrears for the month of July, complained of the county Governments raw deal that has seen them being promised of already paid salaries. The health workers told off the Governor’s sentiments saying that they are just but a sham as they had confirmed checking their bank accounts but did not get any pay. The chair lady Kenya Progressive Nurses Association Judy Mbanda lamented that despite the delay, they are also subjected to deplorable working conditions without proper infrastructure at the facilities and unavailability of essential commodities like gloves. Â The ravage angered the governor who threatened to sack the health workers who participated in the demonstration. “It is a technical problem that shall be solved because we are sure that the salaries were sent. I have the money to pay you people. Everyone will be paid the July salary.” The governor said.
