Over 800 Mombasa nurses continue strike demanding CBA signing - August 2026

Over 800 nurses in Mombasa are continuing their strike, demanding to be signed to a Collective Bargaining Agreement before returning to work. The government allocated Sh6.61 billion to pay accumulated CBA arrears for public university workers, providing some relief to that sector. In Machakos, a budget standoff continues between the county assembly and governor, with the assembly approving 50% of the proposed KSh.17.8 billion budget while Governor Wavinya Ndeti has promised to meet with MCAs to resolve the dispute.
