TUITION INCREMENT STRIKE. Some Of us Do Prostitution To Pay Our Tuition Fees - Makerere University Guild Vice President Judith Tells Government.

Students face off with the military

Military and regular police have arrested over 20 students of Makerere university who were protesting tuition increment.

The university council last year approved a 15 percent cumulative increment for five years.

After five years, each student will be required to pay 75 percent more.

Led by their Guild Vice President Judith Nalukwago, students on Tuesday morning tried to march to the President’s office to petition President Museveni to scrap the policy.

The army and police quickly intercepted them outside the university the gate and dispersed them before arresting the ring leaders.

According to Nalukwago, those who increased the tuition have their children studying outside this country.

“Some of us are here selling our bodies to get tuition. Mr President, please halt this policy and relieve us from selling our bodies,” she is quoted by media as saying.

The students are currently detained at Wandegeya police station pending investigations.

The dispersed students later marched to Wandegeya police station and camped in the compound.

They demanded for the release of their colleagues.

Makerere University Vice chancellor Prof Barnabas Nawangwe advised students to stop de- campaigning the tuition policy because it was approved by the university council.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...
