University Lecturers End Strike After Three Weeks
The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) on Saturday, November 23, called off the lecturer’s strike, which has disrupted university operations across the country since September.
The decision to call off the strike followed the government’s commitment to fulfil the 2021-2025 Collective Bargain Agreement (CBA), initially valued at Ksh9.76 billion.
In the agreement, the National Treasury committed to allocating the full amount to cater for implementation of the 2021-20 CBA in the 2024/2025 financial year under Supplementary Estimates II.
In the deal, the parties involved agreed on the withdrawal of all the legal petitions filed to stop the lecturer’s strike. The representative of the lecturers committed to recovering the lost time.
