The plan by public universities to retrench staff has been criticised by a union, which claims corruption is the reason the institutions are broke.
Kenya University Staff Union (Kusu) Secretary General Charles Mukhwaya said universities will sacrifice thousands of innocent workers for mistakes of the vice chancellors.
Mukhwaya warned universities that have kick-started the exercise to respect court orders.
Kisii University sacked 204 staff on October 6 and Vice Chancellor John Akama indicated that there was no cash to pay them. However, on October 21, the staff secured court orders barring their retrenchment until the case was heard and determined.
