While Minister Hudu Oleru told non-Muslims to back off commenting on Ssegirinya's death, her Cabinet colleague Balaam Barugahara struck a measured conciliatory tone and offer apologies for the government's handling of the decreased MP's situation

Appearing to target the political season where controversial actions can pass scrutiny depending on the side of one was speaking from, Umukuka III, Jude Mike Mudoma, has scrapped the Inzu ya Bamasaba cultural institution, sending tongues wagging

At least three senior administrators from various colleges at Uganda's premier institution of higher learning have received suspension letters, with more reportedly under scrutiny.

Makerere University Joint Staff Association says on Monday they are meeting to declare the strike

His plan includes creating an environment where both staff and students are motivated, supported, and facilitated to reach their full potential.

Dr Ssempebwa, who has been at Makerere since 2012, appealed against the university's decision not to promote him to full professor under the Fast-Track Scheme.

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 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".
