The Kenya Aviation Workers Union (KAWU) has called off its planned strike following successful negotiations with the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). This breakthrough resolves tensions that had affected the air travel sector for over two weeks, ensuring uninterrupted operations at KAA-managed airports.

• The resolution was announced on Wednesday night by Managing Director Mohamud Gedi of KAA.
• KAWU had initially issued a seven-day strike notice, citing grievances including the KAA board’s "loss of faith" and poor governance.
• The September 30 strike had been temporarily suspended for two days to allow court-mandated negotiations, with collaborative support from the Ministry of Roads and Transport and the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection.

The Kenyan government is pursuing court intervention to address the ongoing lecturers' strike that has halted learning in all public universities. Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba stated that both parties will appear before the court on October 6 to chart the way forward.

• The strike reportedly stems from a dispute over the exact outstanding amount owed from the 2017–2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), amounting to Ksh7.9 billion.
• The University Academic Staff Union (UASU), led by National Chairperson Grace Nyongesa, insists no negotiations are currently underway and lecturers will not return to work until their demands are met.
• The government claims lecturers defied a court injunction to resume talks, forcing the move back to court.

Twenty nurses were injured when armed goons disrupted their protest in Siaya County, leading the Kenya National Union of Nurses and Midwives (KNUNM) to threaten a nationwide strike. The union accused Siaya Governor James Orengo of facilitating the attack as protests over unresolved grievances enter their 19th day.

• 20 nurses sustained injuries during the protest disruption on Tuesday, September 30.
• The KNUNM Siaya branch secretary, Kennedy Hamisi, reported that mobile phones were stolen from nurses during the attack.
• The nurses' strike is fueled by issues including non-remittance of statutory deductions, non-compliance with Salaries and Remuneration Commission circulars, and persistent salary delays.
