Makerere University Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe was part of the delegation of administrators to Parliament yesterday, August 17.

The delegation of Makerere University was headed by the Chairperson of Council and held cordial discussions with Rt. Hon. Thomas Tayebwa – Deputy Speaker of Parliament, the Government Chief Whip – Hon. Obua, the Opposition Chief Whip – Hon. Nambeshe and Parliamentary Commissioner Hon. Silwanyi.

According to Prof Nawangwe, they ‘discussed the future of Makerere as a research university.’

Among the many other issues discussed, the Makerere VC used the visit was to lobby for his students especially those on Government sponsorship who are entitled to a food allowance.

Prof. Nawangwe cited the need to increase the amount from shs. 4500 to shs. 10000 on a daily due to the inflation levels that have undermined the former rate since its inception about a decade ago.

The Deputy Speaker of Parliament pledged full support from Parliament for this cause since it has in the recent past given students a reason to strike.

With the 2022/23 fiscal year already rolling on, special adjustments can be made to cater for some requests but most likely, the expectant students might have to wait a little longer due to the bureaucracy in between.
