A man died after he was turned away from a hospital in northern Kenya on the first day of a strike by nurses, reports the privately owned Daily Nation..
Joseph Leng’uro told the newspaper that his father was turned away from Samburu County Referral hospital and told to go to a private hospital.
The BBC’s David Wafula reports the nurses are demanding a pay rise which was promised last year.
