Taita-Taveta County has sacked over 500 health workers for participating in an illegal strike .
The medical workers were sacked after they declined to return to work as directed by County Secretary Leverson Mghendi and Health Department Chief Officer Philomena Kirote.
The county secretary had asked the clinical officers and nurses to return to work saying the matter was being addressed at the national level. His letter was later followed by a show cause notice that demanded that the health workers state why they had absconded duty despite being asked to return to work.
