Makerere to have Guild President within two weeks

In an address given to Makerere GRCs in a meeting held on Saturday 20th in the Main Building Senior Common Room, the Dean of Students at Makerere University Mr. Cyriaco Kabagambe said the Students Guild will be functioning within a maximum of 2 weeks.

“My hope is that everyone appreciates the uncertain delay in the making up of the Students Guild and makes sure that this matter is resolved within the shortest possible time,” he asserted.

The process of re-election begins on Monday 22nd August. The Caretaker government has four days to research, appoint and inaugurate the Electoral Commission that shall manage the voting at the School of Education.

“By Friday, 26th August the Electoral Commission shall be in place to manage the Election,” the Dean of Students added.

He further added that he believes it is in the interest of every student to make sure that they preserve, protect and guard the process of re-election at the School of Education.

The Deputy Vice Chancellor Finance and Administration who also doubles as the Head of Security, promised to provide maximum security to the newly appointed E.C for the smooth running of the process.

Makerere University has been in a state of quagmire from March 18th when Biddemu Bazil Mwotta was declared winner of the Presidential election, dragged to the tribunal and irregularities found to have marred the Election.

The Tribunal ordered for a fresh election at School of Education but Bazil Mwotta got an injunction from the High Court and delayed the voting.

High Court later found the case to be lacking content and dismissed it with costs in the case of Biddemu Bazil Mwotta vs Ssembogga Roy and 2 Others.
Court therefore ordered for a re-election at School of Education.
