Kenyan university lecturers are defying Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba's directive to resume classes, prolonging a strike that has entered its second week and disrupted the academic calendar. Lecturers cite the government's failure to honor long-standing Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) as the reason for their continued action, despite a court order suspending the strike.

• Lecturers are demanding that the government address outstanding debts of Ksh7.9 billion from the 2017 and 2021 CBAs, beyond the recently disbursed Ksh2.5 billion.
• Maloba Wekesa of the UASU University of Nairobi Chapter and KUSU Secretary General Charles Mukhwaya dismissed CS Ogamba's order as disrespectful and uninformed, stating he needs to understand their grievances.
• The Employment and Labour Relations Court, through Justice Jacob Gakeri, suspended the strike on September 18, following an appeal from the Inter-Public Universities’ Councils Forum.
