More than 10,000 employees of public universities have scored a major victory after the Employment and Labour Court directed the Treasury and the Education ministry to set aside additional funds for the implementation of a long-pending Sh13.8 billion pay deal between the institutions and their unions.
Justice Maureen Onyango agreed with the lecturers’ unions and the Inter-Public Universities Council Consultative Forum (IPUCCF) that capping the budget at Sh8.8 billion was not sufficient to implement three Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) signed between the two parties.
