Learning at South Eastern Kenya university (SEKU) came to a halt as lecturers joined a nationwide strike called by the Universities Academic Staff Union (UASU)and the Kenya Universities Staff Union (KUSU).
Seku became the latest of 35 public Universities to boycott classes, further escalating a standoff between the unions and the government.
The strike has left students stranded and lecturers cancelled and affecting thousands of learners as the situation remains unresolved.
The launch of the strike at the University, UASU and Kusu leaders cited concerns about low pay, delayed salaries, and the non-remittance of statutory deductions such as pensions and health insurance contributions.
