Makerere begs striking lecturers to stop
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A Monday afternoon crisis meeting has been called to avert the recent sit- down strike by lecturers at Makerere University.

The university council chairperson, Eng Charles Wana-Etyem invited the entire Makerere University Academic Staff Association (MUASA) executive executive to a meeting at 2:30 pm in the council room

Dr. Deus Muhwezi, the MUASA spokesperson said that he received the invitation and as MUASA executive, they will honour the invitation.

Last month, President Museveni ordered for an indefinite closure of Makerere University following strikes from both lecturers and students which began towards the end of October.

The strike leading to the closure was caused by a sit down strike by the lecturers demanding arrears amounting to Shs32b from their allowances which had not been paid for nine months.

This is not the first time that Makerere University has been subjected into public inquiries.

In 2015, there was the Omaswa report, the Kabaasa report and the 2008 McGregor report. While assuming office last Month, Dr Rwendeire said part of their terms of reference is to inquire why recommendations from these reports have never been fulfilled.

The Visitation Committee that was instituted by President Museveni to investigate the causes of strikes at Makerere University has been interrogating former university administrators on why they did not implement recommendations from previous reports to avert future strikes.
