    "content": "(b)The lecturers are paid within four to six weeks upon receipt of their claim on the following conditions- (1) That they have delivered all the lectures, tutorials, practicals and students’ course evaluation, scripts, continuous assessment tests and final examination marks are submitted. This should be in conformity with the university regulations. (2) That the chairman, head of department, dean, director or college principal have verified that the work was done correctly. Delays and defaults arise when part-time lecturers do not meet the part of their bargain. Verification takes long in some incidences because some lecturers make wrong claims or do not present claims at all. All part-time lecturers are paid in full; anything outstanding is paid within four weeks upon receipt of their verified authentic claims which meet the conditions stipulated above. (3) All the outstanding payments are made in accordance with the university financial regulations and in adherence to the terms and conditions of engagement. (4) The university is aware of delayed payments in some cases in the past. These cases occurred in some extra-mural centres but have since been cleared. So far, there are no claims in arrears for more than three months as claimed. (c)The long time solution put in place is to ensure that part-time lectures engaged in the university clearly understand the contractual terms of engagement signed between them and the university to avoid any misunderstanding likely to occur. From the aforementioned policy requirement by the University of Nairobi and Kenyatta University, it is advisable that any aggrieved part-time lecturer directs queries and complaints to the specific university concerned, to be addressed in line with the existing laws governing engagement of part-time lectures. (2) With regard to the steps the Government has taken to ensure all part-time lecturers are paid their dues promptly, they are detailed under (b) above. Lastly, the Government’s long-term solution to delayed payments to part-time lecturers is contained in the existing policies developed by individual universities which have adequate provisions to address the problems arising from the payment of part time lecturers. Thank you."
