Two trade unions representing workers in public universities are demanding the immediate reinstatement of all 900 employees at Moi University who were declared redundant.
Top officials from the University Academic Staff Union (UASU) and the Kenya University Staff Union (KUSU) have labelled the university management's decision as flawed and unprocedural.
Led by UASU Secretary-General Constantine Wasonga and KUSU Secretary-General Charles Mukhwaya, the unions have accused the university of making well-trained and skilled workers jobless without proper consultation with the respective unions.
Wasonga has called on the university to withdraw all dismissal letters issued to the employees and allow them to return to their jobs.
