Varsities staff through Kenya University Staff Union has asked the government to fully implement the 2013/2017 Collective Bargain Agreement or face a strike.
Charles Mukhwaya who is KUSU Secretary -General has said the government has been reluctant to implement the CBA despite their demands.
According to the Star, Mukhwaya has disclosed that it has become difficult for union leadership to continue restraining its members from demanding for their rights.
Mukhwaya spoke in Nakuru on Saturday during a national governing council of KUSU.
The council secretary revealed that it was forced to take to the streets on July 2017 and through their pressure, the government released Sh10 billion which was used to settle arrears and not salary and house allowances.
According to the council government has had a lot of grace period but has done nothing.
Union Secretary -General has said they are surprised by the government's failure to honour their agreement which was even registered at the Employment and Labour Relations Court.
