TIMOTHY MURUNGI'S LENS AT PARLIAMENT

Guild body petitions Speaker of Parliament over MAK fee increment

In a show of solidarity, the Guild Presidents Association has backed their fellow student leaders at Makerere University to demand the institution to listen to students' demands over the recent 15% fees increment.

The petition demands for reinstatement of suspended students, inquiry on how the vice-chancellor Barnabas Nawangwe is running the university, withdrawal of the army from the institution and that the increment is halted, among other reason. The petition was received by MP John Baptist Nambeshe (Manjiya County), on behalf of the Speaker.

Makerere University has announced that it will maintain the 15% for the next five years, something that was agreed on by the students' leadership and approved by the university council on the recommendation of the student guild cabinet.

The university administration is set to meet the student's leadership for more dialogue.

 

Acting Vice-Chancellor Makerere University and Deputy vice-chancellor academic affairs Umar Kakumba says that management is investigating cases of violence where students beat fellow colleagues. Cases of battered students were captured and recorded.
