Egerton University staff issue 7-day strike notice over salary arrears

Speaking during a presser on Saturday, the Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU) said the strike notice comes into effect on October 5, 2022 if the issues they have raised are not addressed.

KUSU secretary general Charles Mukhwana called for the university to pay 100% salaries and settle accrued arrears as negotiated in the CBA.

The strike would affect between 700-800 staff.

Mukhwana said, "The chilling suffering of our members, the harrowing pain they have to endure to make ends meet, the horrendous conditions they work in is against the International Labour Organisation working conditions to which our dear country is a signatory."
