Workers in public universities have vowed not to resume duty until a collective bargaining agreement is negotiated and implemented, in complete violation of a court order.

Speaking at Egerton University Njoro, Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied workers (Kudheiha), University Academic Staff Union (Uasu) and Kenya University Staff Union (Kusu) officials urged their members not to take instructions from anyone except union leaders.
