The Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU) has issued a fresh strike notice just days after the High Court ordered the immediate reinstatement of Professor Amokuwa Anangwe as the Chairperson of the University council.
The lectures have warned the government to act swiftly, cautioning that unchecked mismanagement could bring the institution down.
This is despite the court ruling by High Court Judge Bahati Mwamuye, who ordered the immediate reinstatement of Anangwe pending the determination of his case challenging his dismissal by Education Cabinet Secretary Julius Ogamba.
UASU also stated that if corrective measures are not taken, they would proceed with the strike they had initially threatened on February 25 2025.
“Those given the mandate to manage the University of Nairobi have decided to weaken the governance of the university so that they can exploit it and be used to dish out land”, they stated.
“We are concerned that the situation continues as it is in the next month”, they added.
They further demanded that the government dissolve the entire university council as recommended by the Parliamentary Committee on Education.
