Moi University Lecturers, Staff to Persist with the Ongoing Strike.
The University Academic Staff Union (UASU) Moi University chapter held a virtual meeting on Sunday evening, confirming their intent to persist with the ongoing strike.
The chapter’s Secretary General, Busolo Wekesa, communicated that members unanimously agreed to continue the local strike without interruption.
To demonstrate unity and solidarity, they resolved to organize rallies at the Main Campus and the PDN branch in Eldoret.
University staff are protesting due to delays in implementing the Return to Work Formula (RTWF) outlined in the 2021/2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).

“This is to report the opening of the university with immediate effect. Students are to report back for their studies, and classes will resume on Monday, November 11, 2024,” said Kosgey.
