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.
