Public University Lecturers End Strike After Reaching Agreement with Government - November 2025

Public university lecturers in Kenya have ended their strike, which lasted for 48 or 49 days, and are set to return to classrooms on Monday. The conclusion of the industrial action follows a new agreement reached with the central government after negotiations. The decision to call off the strike was made after a government commitment to pay outstanding salary arrears totaling Ksh 7.9 billion. The end of the strike, which had disrupted learning across the country, means that university academic activities are expected to resume.
