‘A detailed schedule for staggered learning (on campus for face-to-face lectures and off-campus for online lectures) for all students will be communicated as soon as arrangements are made.’ Kyomuhangi revealed before advising the MUBS students to use the period before the semester starts to prepare the necessary documentation and fees payments required for registration.

Last week, Makerere University threatened not to graduate more than 4,000 MUBS students for allegedly failing to remit more than Shs2.64 billion in functional fees.

However, in an interview with this newspaper on Thursday, Prof Balunywa likened Makerere University’s behaviour to that of ‘a big brother’ syndrome of trying to bully the young ones.

“Why do Makerere people do this every time there is a graduation? Why punish innocent students when they (Makerere) are the cause of these problems,” he said.

Prof Balunywa said some time back, the then deputy vice chancellor, Prof Lillian Tibatemwa Ekirikubinza, chaired a committee meeting, in which they agreed on the responsibilities of each of the two institutions of higher learning, including the functional fees.

“Every semester we pay functional fees and we keep paying in instalments. The money Makerere is demanding was not agreed upon.

Prof Balunywa accused Makerere of unfairly introducing affiliation fees and yet MUBS is affiliated to Makerere by law. He promised to meet with the vice chancellor, Prof Barnabus Nawangwe, and iron out the differences in time before the graduation starts.

Ashraf’s Niwagaba’s campaign manager’s statement below

“We were coming from Berlin from campaigning and heading to the stage where we usually hold our meetings after campaigns. So together with the president there are people who came in front of us and I myself told the president that they are voters coming to greet us as students normally do, what we thought as a handshake turned into a blows, kicks and punches on our guild aspirant,” Mutebi narrated.

By press time, Niwagaba who was left with a deep cut on the right arm besides heavy beatings on the head was receiving medical attention at Bugolobi Medical Centre in a very critical condition.

UYD candidate Awori Emmanuel ,Niwagaba’s opponent has condemned the act,by issuing out the statement below.

“An attack on a leader is an attack on his constituency. This attack was not only an attack on our brother Walter, it was an attack on us. It is for this reason that I call upon you to be strong and vigilant. Your life matters and counts.”

“I argue you to be security conscious. Do not move alone much less move in the silent night. Our Hostel areas are not safe enough for us to move freely.”

Niwagaba, who was expected to appear at a massive rally today, failed, because he sustained several injuries, including stab wounds.

The MUBS police are currently investigating the matter and hunting for Niwagaba’s attackers, on top of deploying heavily for the election slated for tomorrow.
