Nobody’s above the law, if those ****** nurses are re-instated, I will also go on an illegal strike and nobody should fire me. We can’t have such a country. Gov. employ other nurses.

It is rumoured that patients are being discharged prematurely and few days later, most of those discharged are being taken back as BIDs. Can the PF tell us who they are punishing by firing nurses if it is not the ordinary Zambian they pretend to be serving.
Anger destroys, it never builds. Please reinstate the nurses after all Shamenda lied to the nurses in the first instance!

Nurses went too far with their illegal strike. People died during that strike, some developed strokes because nurses were chanting, singing and making noise in hospital grounds.
Nurses are not being punished, they are being told in no uncertaiun terms that indiscipline of this nature will not be tolerated anymore in public service. They can re-apply for new jobs if they feel they are ready to serve the people and they need jobs to support their children. This lobbying through the social media for their re-instatements will yield nothing.

They can re-apply. Those who want to be re-instated want their record purged of wrong doing despite their unbecoming conduct. Just re-apply and you will get your jobs back with new conditions. This is how unreasonableness can backfire!

Those fired nurses still have a lot of work to do in terms of patient care.Let them reach retirement age.You will just be shortening Gods purpose in their life to look after the sick.You will be judged for premature exit of the so much needed health workforce which led to a lot of BIDS.

Where are the 800 nurses who are sapozd to be employed? But even though, do they have experience already? The nurses errored but I cant see any solution if thez still shortage of manpower. Beleleni, am sure they hv learnt a bigger lesson.
