Kenya: Lecturers split over abrupt end of strike

A split has emerged among public university lecturers over Tuesday's decision to call off their two-month strike. Some officials of the Universities Academic Staff Union (Uasu) protested at the timing of national vice-chairman Kimani Njoroge's announcement of the end of the boycott. He did not consult the National Delegates Conference, they said. The Moi, Kenyatta and Nairobi universities chapters argued that the union's national officials did not consult the NDC, which was scheduled to meet on Saturday.
