Kyambogo students strike to resume lectures

By Vision Reporter

Kyambogo University students have gone on strike demanding for resumption of lectures.

This after University staff unanimously resolved to snub an appeal by Police Chief Gen. Kale Kayihura that they resume duty immediately.

Jinja Road, District Police Commander, Wesley Nganizi, said they managed to contain the situation and normalcy has returned at the campus.

In a six-hour general assembly at the university’s main hall, the staff Wednesday rejected Kayihura’s call that they resume work instantly in exchange for his intervention in the leadership wrangles that have veiled the public institution for the last two weeks.

Kayihura further promised to deliver the staff’s grievances to President Yoweri Museveni if they shunned industrial action for dialogue.

He is mediating negotiations between Kyambogo Vice Chancellor, Prof Isaiah Omolo Ndiege and the executive of the staff.
