Makerere University Business School (MUBS) Principal Waswa Balunywa wants the government to allow universities come up with their strategy on how to implement the Covid-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) issued by the Ministry of Health so that universities can resume their operations.
In March, President Yoweri Museveni directed the closure of all institutions of learning following the outbreak of Covid-19.
Appearing before Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC), Balunywa noted that universities have several proposals for the Ministry of Education which can be used to open universities but unfortunately the government has never consulted them.
