Striking Moi lecturers demand CBA compliance, dismiss council offer

Moi University Striking lecturers have rejected an offer by the university's council, saying it does not meet their demands. UASU Eldoret branch secretary-general, Busolo Wekesa, said they have been negotiating with the employer since Thursday last week but have rejected their offer. The lecturers went on strike on August 20 over the return-to-work formula signed with the university council on November 30, 2024. The union wants June and July 2025 salaries paid as per the negotiated 2021-2025 CBA rates. The leaders say new management is weak and unable to handle issues facing the University.
