University of Nairobi lecturers have announced the withdrawal of services to self-sponsored students over debt amounting to Sh1.3 billion. A statement from Chapter secretary George Omondi on Wednesday states that the academic staff is owed a huge amount of money for services offered in self-sponsored programmes. Omondi said that lecturers have been offering their services diligently for many years in spite of not being paid. This comes as the University Academic Staff Union plans to start its strike over unpaid allowances. Undertones indicate the opposition follows the move to strip off the unit power to handle funds from the self-sponsored students.
