University student leaders have threatened to hold nationwide protests over the increasing cases of abductions and salary delays for lecturers.
Speaking to journalists the leadership of the Kenya University Students Association (KUSA), has blamed the government for failing to stop abductions targeting Kenyan youths.
Under the leadership Teddy Osano, KUSA has announced that the protests will start when universities re-open on January 15.
Osano said: ”Revolution is the voice of the unheard, revolution is the voice of the majority silenced and pressed. We are announcing that immediately the comrades of the universities resume, including the lecturers and staffers, we are going to stage demonstrations in the republic of Kenya.”

The students also announced that during the protests they will push State to clear all the pending salary arrears of university staff.
KUSA has therefore urged students across Kenya to come out in large numbers and paralyse key business activities so as to force government to act.
On Monday, January 6 five abducted Kenyans comprising Gideon Kibet, Peter Muteti, Bernard Kavuli, Billy Mwangi, and Ronny Kiplangat, were released at different intervals.
