Public university lecturers and other workers are headed for a clash with their employers over pay cuts.
Egerton and Kisii universities have announced salary reductions of 30-40 per cent on the grounds that they have not received money from the National Treasury.
University Academic Staff Union (Uasu) Secretary-General Constantine Wasonga and Chairman Muga K’Olale said the organisation would not accept pay cuts.
“The university management board resolved that … staff in grade One to Four receive full net salary while those in grades Five to 19 will get 60 per cent of their net pay and the balance will be settled as soon as funds are available,” Prof Mwonya said.
“Before the execution of the 40 per cent pay cuts, university administrators should give a list of employees hired by the government and those recruited locally.
