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.
