What you need to know:

  • University management paid the Sh113 million salary arrears for October, November, and December on Tuesday evening.
  • However, the unions are pushing for the implementation of the remaining 24 clauses in the return-to-work agreement.

The management of Moi University has released Sh113 million salary arrears as part of the return-to-work formula to avert the resumption of strike action by the teaching and non-teaching staff.

The workers had threatened to down tools again over the contentious Sh8.6 billion debt in salary and statutory deduction.
It has further paid December salaries in full, a day after the Universities Academic Staff Union (Uasu) and the Kenya University Staff Union (Kusu) announced the resumption of a workers' strike, accusing the management of flouting the return-to-work agreement.
