Lecturers at the University of Nairobi, Maseno, Egerton, and Kisii universities went on strike Sept. 17, after the government failed to implement collective bargaining agreements (CBA). The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) and Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU) cited KSh 7.9 billion in arrears from the 2017–2021 CBA and incomplete payments under the 2021–2025 deal. The strike began despite the Treasury releasing KSh 2.5 billion for Phase Two of the 2021–2025 agreement.
