All work, no pay: The agony of being a part-time lecturer in Kenya

An Empty wallet: Part-time lecturers perform the donkey work with little or no pay.

Eric Kirui has been teaching at two top universities since 2015 but has only been paid twice. This was payment for the first two semesters he taught at Egerton University in 2015.

From that time, he says, his hard work at the Baringo-based campus where he still teaches literature students has not been compensated. His wages have also been piling up at Maasai Mara University since 2015, where he has not received any payment.
