I Refuse To Be Fired!- Dr Stella Nyanzi protests eviction from Makerere

Makerere Institute of Research fellow, Dr Stella Nyanzi has refused to vacate her office after she was shown the exit by her boss, Mahmood Mamdani.

She said; “I appealed to the Deputy Vice Chancellor in charge of Finance and Administration, who issued a letter of stay that I emailed to all MISR faculty, staff and students. I also hand delivered a letter to Mamdani’s Personal Assistant.

Mamdani, who is evicting Nyanzi out of office.

I was surprised to find an email this morning telling me that his eviction instructions still stand. This is the same man who gave a whole block of offices at MISR to his wife for her private film establishment after he abruptly terminated the short research courses that used to be conducted there.

Mahmood Mamdani is expelling me out of my office just like Idi Amin Dada expelled Asians out of Uganda. I refuse to be the sacrificial lamb to atone for Idi Amin’s evil. Power really gets to some men’s heads!”
