The Employment and Labour Relations Court has temporarily restrained the Universities Academic Staff Union (Uasu) from calling, instigating, or inciting others to take part in any strike. The order comes hours after public university lecturers downed tools across the country.
The order was issued by Justice Jacob Gakeri on Wednesday following a case filed by the Inter-Public Universities’ Councils Consultative Forum of the Federation of Kenya employers.
The court instructed the parties to keep negotiating in an effort to reach a mutual agreement on the disputed issues.
