National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has called on striking university staff to suspend their industrial action and embrace dialogue as the government seeks a resolution to the crisis disrupting higher education.
Speaking at Parliament Buildings on Tuesday after meeting officials of the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) and the Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU), Wetang’ula acknowledged their grievances over unpaid salary arrears and stalled Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs).
