Kenyan Public University Lecturers End Strike After KSh 20 Billion Salary Agreement

Public university lecturers in Kenya have ended their strike following a KSh 20 billion (approximately $133 million USD) salary agreement between the government and staff unions. This resolution brings an end to weeks of disruption in teaching and learning across the country, with academic activities expected to resume immediately. The deal covers the 2025-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement, providing for a 3.5% increase in basic salaries, rising to 5% annually thereafter, and a harmonized minimum monthly commuter allowance.
