Talks have resumed between striking lecturers and the Kenyan government, with the government now offering to pay Ksh.7.9 billion in arrears in two phases, softening its previous stance. The lecturers' unions are consulting their members on this new proposal as the strike enters its 44th day.

• The government initially proposed three payment phases for the Ksh.7.9 billion arrears but has reduced it to two.
• Constantine Wesonga, Secretary General of UASU, and Mukhwaya, Secretary General of the Kenya University Staff Union (KUSU), are leading the union negotiations.
• Students at universities like Egerton have joined protests in solidarity, demanding their lecturers be paid.
