Students at the oldest public university in Uganda are striking over the university tuition payment policy that requires students to clear 100% of tuition within the first six weeks from the start of the semester.

On Thursday 12th March, a peaceful morning demonstration at Makerere University abruptly turned violent.

This followed police interception of students who were matching to Parliament to launch a petition to the speaker.

“We are not satisfied with the university council’s decision to postpone the deadline, they should scrap off the new policy in its entirety,” Ivan Bwowe, Makerere University Guild President says.

After failing to get a clear pleasing response from the university administration, students on Friday 13th March continued with their demand. This prompted police to arrest a number of students.

Prof. Dumba Sentamu, Makerere university Vice Chancellor on a sad note however claims students are being politically influenced to strike.

“We agreed with the students to postpone the deadline as request by their Guild leaders headed by Bwowe Ivan, but we are disappointed to see Bwowe leading the strike,” Prof. Dumba Sentamu painfully told the press.

“Yesterday’s teargas was not as so deadly as today’s……”, an affected Makerere university student lamented.
