At the end of the march, they petitioned Parliament, the National Treasury and the Ministry of Education over Sh7.7 billion in salary arrears and the commencement of talks on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA).

The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) strike entered Day 7 as lecturers marched from the University of Nairobi (UoN) graduation square through the streets to present their petition to government offices.
