Lecturers at Moi University have gone on strike, jeopardizing the first-year student admissions set for Thursday, August 21. The strike stems from the university management's alleged failure to honor a return-to-work agreement, specifically a Ksh8.6 billion deal concerning salaries and statutory deductions.

• Over 900 lecturers are reportedly lacking health services through the Social Health Authority (SHA) due to the non-implementation of the agreement.
• Busolo Wegesa, secretary of the university's chapter of Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU), stated that Moi University management has not implemented any of the 25 clauses of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) despite the government releasing Ksh500 million.
• The union had issued a strike notice seven days prior, also claiming non-payment of June and July 2025 salaries, contradicting Vice-Chancellor Kiplagat Kotut's assurance that all academic activities would remain uninterrupted.
