Guild president reacts
Kateregga reacted to the letter and set four conditions that management should put in place if the meeting is to happen.
The first condition was the revocation of all warning and suspension letters issued by management over the last four days.
Kateregga also asked that Professor Hisaali Elias and Gordon Murangira should not be part of the meeting.
