Public university lecturers have threatened to protest over delay in payment of salaries to universities in Kenya.
In a letter addressed to Education CS, Ezekiel Machogu, the lecturers said they will not tolerate any more delays.
The statement was signed by Universities’ Academic Staff Union Secretary General, Constantine Wasonga on March 14, 2023.
“The union condemns in the strongest terms possible the consistent delays in the release of capitation and salaries,” the statement reads.
Wasonga said the delay has caused embarrassment and disrespect to the academic staff.
“Take notice that if the capitation and salaries are not released immediately the union shall call on all its members to protest,” Wasonga said.
SG Wasonga complained that lecturers have not been paid even up to the 14th of this month.
