Published on November 24, 2019, sixteen lecturers at Moi University's Coast Campus in Mombasa have moved to the high court seeking orders to force the university's management to pay them Sh36.6 million in unpaid salaries.
The lecturers, led by Joseph Jumaa Kazungu, argue that despite having served the institution diligently and consistently, the management has failed to pay them for the tutorial services they rendered to students.
According to an affidavit filed by the lecturers, they have written several letters to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor in Eldoret, but their grievances have never been resolved.
“According to employment contract, the respondents agreed to pay the claimants their agreed wages for tutorial services rendered to the students at the Coast Campus,” the lecturers say in their affidavit.
Simon Mwachoo Mwanjala, Martin Makokha Fredrick Ndegwa, and Nathaniel Karisa are demanding over Sh4 million after teaching over 53 units. The other lecturers complaining are Jamillah Muhamed, Ramadhan Luvusi, Said Ali Masemo, Ali Chimbumgwa, Shilavai Morand Shikova, Zainab Ramadhan, Kelvin Mutia Samuel, Augustine Ndegwa Fredrick, and Mariam Dau Ngome.
