Just a day after frantic talks by university dons and relevant stakeholders to avert a looming strike collapsed, lecturers from various universities have downed their tools.
Lecturers made good their threat after their respective unions — the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) and the Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU) called for a strike over unmet demands by the national government.
Dons from various universities took to the streets as the strike officially kicked off. This is barely a week after students protesting against the new higher education funding model called off their strike after intervention from the government.
