In March, Makerere University Search Committee interviewed William Bazeyo for the position despite knowing his stained integrity, and the Council proceeded to recommend him for appointment

Mr William Bazeyo, who resigned from his acting deputy vice-chancellor position in 2020 following an expose of his PhD credentials, is in the running for Makerere University Chancellor position

Last month, Makerere University staff gave the government until April 8 to find Shs12.6 billion for their salaries or they withdraw their labour

The University Council is riddled by careering members who hop from one constituency to another and dominate Council business with old methods of doing things at the expense of innovative ideas and advice emanating from new members

The Joint Staff Associations says the Shs12-plus must be included in the budget for 2024/25 "so as to stop the injustice of underpayment that many members of staff have suffered for very many years and continue to suffer".
