The government has not, in the union’s statements, been quoted responding to the latest strike notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KUSU said the strike would affect teaching and other operations at public universities if the dispute was not resolved within seven days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The union says the strike will begin at 00:01 on 2 October. Mukhwaya urged the government to use the notice period to resolve the dispute and prevent industrial action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“If the government of the day was smart enough, they should be able to get hold of this matter within the seven days that we have given them and arrest the situation,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He warned that the union would proceed with the strike if no agreement was reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KUSU said its delegates from public universities across Kenya would continue mobilising members ahead of the planned strike.
