Nurses working in Yirol Civil Hospital have been arrested for violently protesting in Yirol by the Authorities. 
The Nurses have violently attacked the foreign doctors working in Yirol because their salary had been deducted by 70 percent. 
The Deputy Governor of Eastern Lakes State Mr. Taban Abel said that they tried to find an amicable solution to the issue but it was all in vain.  
The Deputy Governor said that “The strike by the medical staff of Yirol hospital was because of salary pay cut which was reduced by the NGO that used to contribute to what is call the Health Pool Fund. So they had a budget deduction and they tried to harmonize the pay across the country and was resolved to serious deduction of their pay which was 75%. The medical staff decided to go on strike without even notifying us. We wanted to approach them by very peaceful means. Some of them decided to go violent attacking those who have decided not to go on strike.”
The nurses will be arraign in the court of law to face the charges immediately before Friday next week.
