Information coming from Muteesa 1 royal university Rubaga Mengo campus indicate that there is a huge scandal squeezing the staff members and it is expected to greatly affect the Buganda kingdom owned institution.
Lecturers of Muteesa 1 Royal are on strike following a delay in their salaries for a period of three months. The junior lecturers of Muteesa 1 royal earn an amount of shs1m every month but most of them want an increment in addition to a full clearance of the three months debt.
This scandal has affected both the junior and senior lecturers who haven’t shown interest in teaching for the past weeks since the semester begun. Apparently, some students of this university last saw lecturers around the campus premises on Saturday and others haven’t seen a single one at al for a week now.

Ssebutinde reportedly tried to cool them down to continue with normal work, but the angry don did not heed to her request.

We shall keep you updated.
