\ud83d\udd34Lecturers\u2019 Strike Hits Day 8 as Pay Dispute Escalates Into Legal Showdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nationwide lecturers\u2019 strike has entered its eighth day, crippling learning in 42 public universities as lecturers demand the settlement of Sh7.9 billion in collective bargaining agreement (CBA) arrears. Lecture halls remain deserted across the country, with no sign of classes resuming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government recently released Sh2.73 billion to settle part of the arrears, but lecturers have dismissed the amount as inadequate, insisting that billions from previous CBAs remain unsettled. They argue that only full payment will end the stalemate, accusing authorities of making endless promises without action.The dispute has now escalated into a legal showdown. Through lawyer Titus Koceyo, the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) has filed a contempt case against Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba, Treasury CS John Mbadi, and Labour CS Alfred Mutua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
