The Makerere University FDC chapter president Kahiigi Edmond, a man whose actions have superseded his words in the past has revealed his plan to see off the Guild President, Papa Were Salim from office and influence a vote of “NO CONFIDENCE” for the Guild speaker, Hon. Kwagala Isaac in the Guild House.
This fuss comes due to the consensus reached between a Seven (7) member committee of the Students’ leadership headed by Polly Bandola, the chairperson of Mitchell hall and the University administration that saw the earlier suggested 90% tuition increment reduced to 15% across all courses at the University for the next five years.
Edmond Kahiigi described this as a failure to represent the interests of the students’ community and inability to fight for their rights. In a letter addressed to the 84th Guild house, dated 8th July 2018, Edmond blamed the committee for benchmarking at the University of Nairobi, which he purportedly described as being in a stronger economy than Uganda. “Still basing on the fact that the committee did not meet the house prior to the submission of their report to the council, we find it provocative to the constituents who mandated the house with legislatory powers,” Edmond asserted.
“We find their impeachment justifiable and we as voters shall collect signatures for the guild’s impeachment while the house deals with the speaker,” He continued.
The chapter president also demands that the money that was granted to the committee to do the benchmarking should be refunded as they failed to accomplish their task and instead took their lovers for outings using the money.
