We have seen many universities take a stand as per the amendment of article 102(b). I know many of you are wondering what goes on in Gulu in moments like these. However, sit still because Campus Bee has got you covered.
While other people wake up and move for action around parliament ending up in those rugged police cars, it’s usually a normal day in Gulu. Students do attend their lectures, get their presentations done as well as have a good time with their friends of course not forgetting the fact that they will wait for the parliamentary seating to watch what is going on around Kampala. Do not be judgmental about this as that might be a rudimentary act. These people have got a spirit for their mother country as depicted in the pictures below.
The saying of “TOGIKWATAKO” or “PE IGUDI” in Acholi has been on people’s lips all these days some taking it as far as making explanations in class to emphasise the point. In my hood, people take action on social media, express their dissatisfaction of implementing the article 102(b) there and I think that is so far what has been done. However, they do have their reasons some of which include;
Anonymous: Gulu is way too far from Kampala in that, whatever is done stays within the limits of Karuma. The non-teaching staff has been on strike for now 2 weeks but this did not make headlines. What will a protest of 10-15 people change?
Evelyn: In the last strike that took place in Gulu, people were imprisoned for about a month under allegations and students hardly had a say. Sometimes you are just caught up between a rock and a hard place.
Togikwatako: Our Guild President is a pastor he called for calmness when the non-teaching staff were on strike what do you expect now?
