On August 23, 2021, lecturers at Maseno University in Kenya embarked on an indefinite strike, bringing academic activities to a halt. The strike, which was called by the university's lecturers, is a result of unresolved issues with the institution's administration.
The lecturers, who are demanding better working conditions and improved salaries, have been in negotiations with the university's management for months. However, the talks have yielded little progress, leading to the strike.
The strike has caused inconvenience to students, who are now unable to attend classes. The university's administration has urged the lecturers to return to work, but the lecturers remain resolute in their demands.
