University workers from South Eastern Kenya University, Seku, are up in arms against government's failure to honour return to work formula worth KSh 2.73 billion.
Speaking at the institution's main campus, chairman of Uasu Seku chapter, Dr Michael Wahome, said that it was regrettable that the government doesn't respect the rule of law. "We express our disaffection with government's decision to fail to honour our return to work formula as signed last year", said the don.
The lecturers criticized President Dr William Ruto for embarking on wasteful empowerment programmes. He said that the scheme was waste of taxpayers' money.
A case in point was when teachers under Knut visited the State House and were reportedly paid KSh 10,000. Their leaders got fatter handouts.
"How is it that money is available for them and not available for us? If we're saying that there is no money in the country, where are they getting money for the empowerment programs?", posed Dr Wahome.
Kusu chairman Seku chapter Thaddeus Mutisya, in an interview with the press, said that the strike will go on till money hits the Seku workers' bank accounts.
