University staff threaten to strike in two weeks over salary arrears
University Academic Staff Union (UASU) threaten to strike in two weeks over salary arrears
University Academic Staff Union (UASU) threaten to strike in two weeks over salary arrears.
The University Academic Staff Union (UASU) has given the government a 15-day ultimatum from today, January 1, 2025, to pay December salaries along with all arrears from September.
This follows the government’s repeated promises, including a letter from the Ministry of Education to implement the salary increments of the 2021-2025 collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
If the payments aren’t made, UASU threatens to strike again on January 15, 2025.

In December, teachers were shocked to receive their salaries without any increment, despite a clear directive from Education Principal Secretary Beatrice Inyangala’s September letter to pay both salaries and increments. University officials claim they haven’t received funds from the government to implement the payments.
They are calling for Education CS Julius Ogamba’s resignation, accusing him of failing to ensure implementation. The union warns that the next strike will be tougher.
