Talks to avert a nationwide work boycott by university dons and non-teaching staff have collapsed, setting the stage for a strike that begins at midnight.
The strike was called by the Universities Academic Staff Union (Uasu) and the Kenya Universities Staff Union (Kusu). It comes barely a week after students called off their strike after intervention by the government. Students are unhappy with the new higher education funding model.
