Kenyan lecturers defy court ban on strike

Union members stand strong despite legal threats

Thousands of University lecturers continued their strike on Wednesday, despite a court order to return to work.

The lecturers walked out earlier in the week, demanding higher pay and improvements to their working conditions. Sammy Kubasu, the chairman of the University Academic Staff Union (UASU), said that "despite the court order, we shall be out of the classrooms until the government comes to the negotiating table".
