Professor Barnabas Nawangwe, the Vice Chancellor at Makerere University has suspended National Unity Platform (NUP) guild aspirants who were arrested at the party’s general assembly.
The aspirants were arrested on Friday, June 24th as they tried to access the institution’s freedom square where NUP had organized a general assembly.
The suspended aspirants are Bbosa Edrine Price, Mwesigwa Calvin Mugambwa and Katusabe Kenneth.
These were suspended together with Roy Rugumayo, the chief campaign manager for Mwesigwa Calvin Mugambwa.
According to professor Nawangwe, these were involved in acts of indiscipline that are in breach of the Makerere University students regulations
“Because of your continued involvement in the above offensive acts and in order to ensure safety and security of our students, the university community as well as a conducive teaching and learning for scholarship we cannot tolerate anyone who ruins this environment. I hereby suspend you from Makerere University with immediate effect until further notice.” Part of the suspension letters reads.
National Unity Platform Makerere chapter called for a general assembly on Friday June 24th 2022 in preparation for the forthcoming guild elections.
However, police blocked the entrance to the freedom square on grounds of illegality of the assembly.
The four students were arrested on the same day as they tried to access the freedom square.
The political fate of the guild aspirants now lies entirely in the hands of Vice Chancellor Barnabas Nawangwe.
