MAK hires temporary staff as Non-Teaching staff strike goes to Day Three

Just a few days after staff of Uganda’s best and oldest university laid down tools until the government pays their arrears and salary enhancements, and only a few days to the beginning of the new academic year 2016/2017, Makerere University has subcontracted people to begin the issuing of admission letters to students revealed Prof Ddumba Ssentamu, the university Vice Chancellor.

The non-teaching staff of Makerere University laid down tools because the university has not yet cleared their arrears and salary enhancements for quite a while. Meanwhile several students were still stuck at the University’s senate building awaiting their admission letters since the beginning of the semester is  6^th of August [Saturday].

Prof. Ddumba assured students that before the close of Tuesday [Yesterday], the admission letters would be issued to them from the main building and not the senate building as earlier communicated.
