The Technical University of Kenya lecturers have withheld students’ exam results in protest over delayed salaries.
The protesting lecturers were forced into action following a delay in September salaries.
In a letter dated October 19, University registrar Hesbon Nyagowa confirmed the payment was delayed owing to financial flow problems.
“The university management is making every effort to ensure that the staff members at the university receive their September 2023 within the shortest time possible,” read part of the letter.
“We request the staff members to remain patient during this challenging situation.”
The protests take place just two months before a graduation ceremony.
TUK has previously notified all graduands of the prerequisites they needed to complete before the graduation slated for December 19.
Only students who have been authorized by their respective departments by December 1 will be able to graduate, according to the university.
