By Gastone Valusi
Nurses at Kangundo Level 4 hospital in Machakos County, yesterday have condemned a move by the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Kangundo, to evict some nurses from a rental house at college.
The nurses have threatened to paralyze the supervision of KMTC students attached to various hospitals in the county if the move was not rescinded within 48 hours.
Mary Mueni, a nurse at Kangundo level 4 hospital said she had been given a 14-day notice by the KMTC Deputy Principal to vacate her house but the house was locked before the lapse of the notice when she was away attending to patients at the hospital.
Ms Mueni was employed by the County Government of Machakos in 2021 and was allocated the house by National Housing Corporation.
"The Deputy Principal told us last week to vacate the house because I had kept chicken at the premises and that I was interfering with the study of the KMTC students. They gave me a 14-day notice to vacate and today they came and told my house girl to move out and they locked the house," Ms Mueni the nurse told The Anchor.
Ms Karimi Kanampiu another nurse said she had been given a notice of few days to vacate her house at the college without been given enough time.
