Kenya National Union of Nurses Secretary General Seth Panyako on Wednesday, February 3, voiced his concerns over the running of the Nairobi Metropolitan Services by General Mohamed Badi.

Seth accused Badi of using army tactics in negotiations and lacking human resource skills.

“Badi has failed and refused to appreciate the tripartite of social dialogue. The same problem was experienced at KNH when they brought an ex-inspector general of police to be the chairman of the board who ordered my arrest, using the police,” said Seth

Panyako accrued Badi’s background in the army as the reason why he expects salutation whenever he moves.
