Moi University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Isaac Kosgey has asked striking lecturers to resume classes as relevant organs are handling their issues.
The VC said students are suffering while expressing concerns that most of them might be forced to extend their studying years due to the ongoing strike.
“I want to humbly ask the Moi University lecturers to stop their strike and go back to class for the sake of students since as I am talking everything has been paralyzed yet parents have invested in their children’s education,” Prof. Kosgey said on Saturday.
He urged all stakeholders to engage in dialogue to end the lecturers strike once and for all for students to resume classes.
“As the University VC I am really disturbed when I get my student’s loitering in the streets of Eldoret,” added the Moi University VC who advised students to be of good moral and avoid indulging in illegal activities during the lecturers strike.
On his part, Moi University students leader chairman Isaac Choge called upon the National government to implement the lecturers 2017-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
Choge said that students are suffering a lot noting that because of regular strikes, a course that was supposed to take four years will now take 6 years.
