Lecturers at Moi University have agreed to suspend their strike following a crucial meeting with the university administration this evening.

This resolution follows a prolonged standoff driven by unpaid June and July salaries, delayed pension contributions, and unaddressed statutory deductions—disputes central to UASU’s industrial action since late August.
