UASU dismisses government claims, vows to continue strike until KSh 7.9B arrears are paid

The university academic staff union UASU has dismissed claims by the ministry of education that learning is ongoing in some public universities. UASU insists no classes are taking place nationwide and that the strike will carry on until lecturers are paid their full KSH 7.9 billion salary arrears in one installment, and the 2019–2025 CBA is fully implemented. This comes as technical university of Mombasa students protested, saying the lecturers’ strike has severely disrupted their studies and demanding that the government bows to the lecturers’ terms to end the stalemate.
