University Lecturers Reject Ksh 12B Offer as Strike Talks Collapse

Kenyan university lecturers, represented by UASU and KUSU, rejected a Ksh 12 billion offer from the government to end their strike. They demand negotiations on specific issues related to the 2025-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement, rather than focusing solely on the agreement itself. The second failed negotiation has extended the nationwide strike that began on October 2, due to the government's failure to honor the Return-to-Work Agreement signed in November 2025 and the absence of a financial counter-proposal from the government.
