For long the vice of sexual harassment at Makerere University has been an issue of debate with the recent incident being an investigative story that aired on NBS TV that pinned Professor Swizen Kyomuhendo, a lecturer at the Social Works and Social Sciences faculty (SWASWA).
Now, as Makerere University students braved the rainy Monday morning to strike against what they termed as ‘draconian’ policies, a lecturer was busy indulging in licking of his student’s under body in his office. Amidst the teargas and live bullets flying over campus, this lecturer was determined to quench his horn.

The photo (a selfie that was taken by the student) was leaked this afternoon in several university WhatsApp groups. If the photo is to go by, the lecturer teaches at College of Computing and Information Sciences (CoCis).
The photo clearly shows how amateurish the lecturer is in terms of ‘going down’ on a babe as he’s seen licking the under-body with the girl’s undies still on. Talk of eating sweet with the wrapper on. Perhaps the teargas had clouded his sight.
The lecturer has reportedly been picked up by the university police. Students have vowed to hunt down the lecturer once identified and have vowed to retaliate against this mushrooming vice.
Is Makerere really committed to fighting sexual harassment?
In 1998, Guild President Sarah Kagingo and the Guild Speaker, Opigo Jimmy addressed a press conference and condemned sexual abuse of students by lecturers and members of the administration.
The university Disciplinary committee paraded them before a kangaroo court and suspended them for two months. The student leaders were also ordered to make a public apology to the university before re-admission. Copies of university records obtained by this site indicate that Kagingo and Opigo wrote to the university saying: “We have fulfilled the disciplinary committee’s demand for public apology, copies are attached. Please re-admit us.
The media apology read thus: “We were instructed to apologise before re-admission and we hereby do.”
This site has contacted Ms Kagingo who now runs SoftPower News on why she did not state why she was apologising.
“The wording of the apology was deliberate. We only complied to an instruction by the disciplinary committee to apologise, in order not to lose education,” she said.
“We were first whistle blowers who got hanged. Time will come when we shall speak out and ask to be cleared,” Dr. Opigo Jimmy who currently works at the Ministry of Health commented on the matter.
Vice Chancellor Prof Barnabas Nawangwe in January this year promised to implement the University’s policy on sexual harassment that was introduced in 2006. His efforts are yet to be seen.
