A stalemate persists between Kenyan university lecturers and the Education Ministry over outstanding payments from the 2017–2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), with lecturers claiming Ksh.7.9 billion is owed while the government asserts the figure is only Ksh.624 million.

• The Education Cabinet Secretary, Migos Ogamba, claims most of the money demanded has been paid, suggesting lecturers engage the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) for verification.
• The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU), led by Secretary General Constantine Wasonga, insists they will not budge and demands a joint verification team to reconcile the figures.
• The ongoing strike has disrupted learning in public universities, with lecturers also pushing for fresh negotiations on the 2025–2029 CBA.
