Officials of the two unions, the Universities Staff Academic Union (Uasu) and Kenya University Staff Union (Kusu) made their strike intentions known on Thursday following a meeting with government of Kenya.

The university lecturers and workers are demanding the implementation of the 2013-2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Lecturers and workers of 33 public universities are expected to take part in the planned strike.
