I know why Ndiege is being persecuted
Dec 29, 2009
EDITOR - A lot has been reported about Kyambogo University, especially the vice chancellor, Prof Isaiah Ndiege, lecturers and other administrators. Having been a student at the same university, I know what is going on both internally and externally.
EDITOR - A lot has been reported about Kyambogo University, especially the vice chancellor, Prof Isaiah Ndiege, lecturers and other administrators. Having been a student at the same university, I know what is going on both internally and externally.
As undergraduates, most of us welcomed the new professor and indeed he started doing his best to undo what had been going on for long. I remember him leaving office at 8:00pm and yet was the first to arrive. I remember him asking officers to account for public funds especially after the graduation ceremony of 2008.
I also remember him personally supervising contractors who were rehabilitating the Northhall road. All these made him a ‘bad’ administrator in the eyes of the affected. The impression being created to the public is that the vice chancellor is failing the university.
Students at Kyambogo and most of us who have passed through it know very well that he is doing the right thing but fighting a lone battle against corruption in the institution.
I have read a letter by an anonymous writer published on December 27.
The writer claims that they have not been paid for their invigilation fees. If it is true, that is a genuine complaint but why hide identity and complain in the press?
Has the Kyambogo University Academic Staff Association (KYUASA) failed to address the issue? If there are loopholes in Kyambogo administration, I request KYUASA to address them with the University Council.
The new year is dedicated to fighting corruption at all levels. We are with you if you are fighting corruption at Kyambogo and strongly against you if your intention is to sabotage honest administration and promote corruption.
