Moi University lecturers and other workers have staged more demos in Eldoret City demanding prompt payment of their salaries and implementation of the CBA agreements.
Over 4,000 workers marched through the streets to the Uasin Gishu County assembly where they presented a petition to speaker Phillip Muigei and MCAs.
They have vowed to remain on strike despite UASU and KUSU union officials calling off the boycott last week.
UASU branch deputy Secretary Nyabuta Ojuki said none of their demands had been met despite the unions calling off the strike last week after signing a return to work formula with Vice-chancellors.
“We are still on strike which started a month ago because even after the management agreed to implement our demands they are yet to do anything," Ojuki said.
Ojuki claimed the pension scheme had collapsed due to the non-remittance of more than Sh5.5 billion deducted from their salaries.
He claimed that over Sh1.2 billion deducted for bank loans for some of the employees had not been remitted.
Speaker Muigei said he had received the petition from the workers and would do whatever it takes to deal with the issues and escalate others to the national government.
“As an assembly, we may not have the capacity to deal with all the issues you have raised but we will try where possible and escalate what we can’t to the national government,” Muigei said.
He said they would take up the matter because the workers were residents of Uasin Gishu, taxpayers in the county and also voters in the region.
“The university is also located within our county and we thank the workers that they have recognized the assembly as an institution that can help in dealing with challenges they have,” Muigei said.
UASU chapter secretary Wekesa Busolo asked President William Ruto to intervene in the challenges facing the university before it collapses.
He said there was a need for the appointing authority to act on the management of the university where all operations had been paralyzed for over two months.
Busolo stated that students were being kept at the main campus and other colleges yet no learning was going on.
KUSU branch secretary Mary Chepkwemoi said they would carry out protests to Nairobi.
She claimed their pleas and protests in Eldoret had been ignored.
