The Employment and Labour Relations Court has issued a stern warning to Kenyan universities against delaying or withholding lecturers' salaries, citing underfunding as an unacceptable excuse.

• The court awarded former part-time lecturer Eunice Waruguru Sh1.08 million in unpaid dues from Laikipia University.
• Judge James Rika emphasized that universities must engage lecturers constructively with payment plans rather than resorting to technical objections.
• The ruling highlighted a case where Laikipia University allegedly used claims of mixed-up documents and delayed submissions to avoid payment.
