The standoff between university lecturers and the government has deepened, with Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba insisting that the Sh7.2 billion in contention was already paid. 

Appearing before the Senate on Wednesday, October 1, Ogamba maintained that what remains outstanding is only Sh624 million, contrary to the Sh7.9 billion claim by the University Academic Staff Union (UASU).
