Learning activities have been suspended in Moi University following a prolonged lecturers strike.
The management has however promised to resolve the challenges within the institution as soon as possible.
Moi University has been closed indefinitely over student unrest stemming from industrial action by the institution’s staff.
In a statement released on Thursday, the University through the office of the Vice-chancellor, directed all students to leave the school premises with immediate effect.
“The University Senate in a Special Meeting held today Thursday 3rd October 2024 resolved to suspend the teaching and learning activities of the 1st Semester 2024/2025 Academic Year as a consequence of the industrial action of staff and subsequent student unease.’’
There has been tensions within the institution over the past few weeks as the staff in the University took industrial action in protest of poor working conditions.
They accused the University’s management of exploiting them through third-party deductions from workers’ pay slips which did not reflect in their overall balances.
“Moi University deducts pension and loans which do not reflect in the banks, we’ve been saying this for years and no action has been taken.”
The management has however promised that learning in the university will resume as soon as possible.
