TUK JOINS UNIVERSITY STRIKE AS LECTURES GRIND TO A HALT<\/strong><\/pre>\n
By Jeff Kizzilah Digital Editor<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The Technical University of Kenya (TUK) has joined public universities across the country in the nationwide strike by university lecturers and other staff, which began on Friday, October 2, 2026.<\/p>\n
The industrial action follows the breakdown of negotiations over the 2025\u20132029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), after university staff unions rejected the latest counter-offer presented by the Inter-Public Universities Councils Consultative Forum (IPUCCF).<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
The strike is expected to disrupt lectures, examinations and other academic activities at TUK and other public universities as staff push for the implementation of agreed salary and employment terms.<\/p>\n
At TUK, the industrial action comes as the university continues with some administrative processes. Recent official notices have, for instance, extended the deadline for students to complete nominal-roll registration to October 4.<\/p>\n
The nationwide strike places thousands of university students and staff in uncertainty as negotiations between the unions and university employers remain unresolved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
