Three varsity worker's unions have asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene on the issues that saw them go on strike on Thursday last week. The representatives of Kudheia, Uasu and Kusu said it was unfortunate that the President and Deputy President William Ruto have prioritised campaigns. Kenya Union of Domestic, Hotels, Educational Institutions, Hospitals and Allied workers and University Academic Staff Union members have been assembling at the varsity's graduation square since the strike began. The university workers said their attempts to secure a successful CBA from the government has been unsuccessful, further urging dons to stay away from their work stations. A spot check by the Star revealed that most students left the varsity premises following the disruption of normal operations.
