By ANITA CHEPKOECHMore by this AuthorRestless university students have threatened to join their lecturers in the ongoing strike if it the impasse is not resolved within this week. Speaking to Nation.co.ke on Tuesday, Kenya University Students Organisation Secretary-General Fred Makajos said the strike had affected their academic calendar and could disrupt the plans of hundreds of students set to start industrial attachments in April. “They chose to stay away when the lecturers gave a strike notice in December,” said Mr Makajos, who is also the chairman of the Maseno University Students Organisation. “But if the strike persists for more than a week, we will join the lecturers [and] make some other decisions as deemed necessary by the students,” he said. He said the strike could largely affect students pursuing education courses who are required to start their teaching practice in April.
