University students might be in for another season of strikes after the university staff, under their respective umbrella Unions, issued a threat on Monday 14th, Jan 2012, to the Government over their Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that was signed last year.
Issuing the ultimatum, UASU Secretary General Muga K’Olale and UTENSU
council members, said that they will withdraw all their services in all
public Universities if the Government will not heed to their demand.
The two unions, UASU and UTENSU have given the Government a seven day
notice, which will expire next week on Monday, failure to which they
will resort to industrial action.
The Unions have come out strongly condemning the laxity in handling the matter, blaming the Vice-chancellors for being responsible for the delayed disbursement of the staff money that was released by the Government.
In Moi University, “The Moi University Chapter” has mobilized its members to support it in fighting for their rights. Through a Memo, dated Monday 14th of January, The Chapter invited all its members for a picketing meeting scheduled for today. It is expected to start at nine in the morning at the Main Campus outside the Administration Block and at twelve noon at the College of Health Sciences – Estate Grounds in the Town Campus.
Speaking to the “The 3rd Eye”, some staff members expressed their optimism over today’s meeting agenda, adding that they were very ready to do anything to fight for their rights. "Kama ni University ama Serikali ndiyo wamekwamilia pesa zetu, basi lazima tuwakumbushe hata sisi tuko na haki yetu!"
