The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) has issued a seven-day strike notice for lecturers nationwide, set to commence at midnight on October 2.

• The strike is due to the government's failure to honour the Return-to-Work Formula signed on November 5, 2025, and to provide a financial counter-proposal for the 2025–2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
• Key organizations involved include the UASU, the Ministry of Education, the National Treasury, and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
• UASU strongly rejects the government's position that funding for public university lecturers could come from student fees or market-based funding, asserting that academic staff are public officers whose remuneration should be secured from the National Exchequer.

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is urging teachers to update their Public Service Superannuation Fund (PSSF) pension and beneficiary details, emphasizing the importance of current retirement records.

• The TSC is promoting the PSSF Member Self-Service Portal for teachers to manage their pension accounts digitally.
• Teachers must provide specific documentation for beneficiaries, including birth certificates for children and ID/phone details for adults, along with distributing pension percentages.
• This initiative follows a July 9 directive, with only about 20,000 of the 334,442 teacher members having updated their details on the portal.

The Judiciary is seeking public input on its proposed Sh50.7 billion budget for the 2027/28 financial year, aiming to enhance access to justice and improve service delivery.

• The proposed budget represents a significant increase from the indicative ceiling of Sh30.4 billion, leaving a financing gap of Sh20.3 billion.
• Key figures involved include Deputy Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Paul Ndemo, who emphasized the importance of public participation.
• Public consultations, like the one held in Marsabit, aim to ensure budget priorities align with the justice needs and experiences of Kenyans, addressing issues such as case backlogs and court infrastructure.

Lecturers in public universities across Kenya are poised to go on strike starting September 30, following a 7-day notice issued by the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU).

• The strike is over the government's failure to implement the 2025-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA).
• Key figures involved include UASU Secretary-General Constantine Wasonga and the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC).
• The union cites the government's lack of a financial counter-proposal and failure to honour a prior Return-to-Work Formula signed on November 5, 2025.
