Police lobbed tear gas to disperse a section of University of Nairobi students who staged demonstrations along Waiyaki Way on Tuesday, demanding government intervention to end the ongoing university lecturers’ strike.
The students blocked part of the road and burnt tyres, disrupting traffic before police moved in to disperse them.
The protesters said the strike had paralysed learning and delayed planned graduations, disrupting students’ academic progress. They vowed to continue demonstrating until the government engages university lecturers in talks to resolve the dispute.
