    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Deputy Speaker requested that I read on his behalf. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Health on the status of health services in Meru County following an industrial strike of health workers that commenced on 1st August 2024, which in turn has led to a total shutdown in the delivery of health services. On 15th and 16th November, 2023, the health workers in Meru County conducted an industrial strike that was called off after a negotiated agreement was reached on 17th November, 2023, between the County Government of Meru and health workers' respective unions; the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Union (KMPDU), the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers and Kenya National Union of Nurses. The health workers have accused the County Government of Meru of being non- committal and lacking good faith in implementing the 2023 negotiated agreement, thus calling for industrial strike."
