We have received reliable info from the heart of Makerere, the Ivory tower is bed ridden only powerful magic can cleanse the rot that rests therein.
The conditions of living have worsened in the halls of residence , Government students putting up in the halls of residence are living like vermin. The halls being occupied are Mitchell and Lumumba. The already dilapidated halls are not only massively over crowded but also grossly neglected.
You could rise to castigate the cleaners for failing to do their job, but how do you expect them to clean when they are debt riddled and not sure whether they are doing “bulungi bwansi ” (quasi voluntary service ) or are actually employed.
The result is then immensely chocking standards of living. A small chunk of posho a few grains of rice, countable bean seeds soft as pebble, and dead carcasses of weevils consists of a typical supper meal.
Further concerns have been raised over the high levels of theft among the ladies, items being targeted are deodorants, undies and strangely meal cards. The boys however complain over the routine lack of water coupled with the night vampires taking the form of bed bugs.
