The Non- teaching staff at public universities in Uganda have maintained their stand not to end the ongoing strike following a meeting held on Friday 14th August 2015.

Jackson Betihama, the chairperson of public universities Non-Teaching Staff Executives Forum says they resolved only to go back to work after government increases their salaries this financial year.

Government had proposed a salary increment for them in the financial year 2016/2017 and also pay their arrears in salary increment for this year 2015/2016 in the next financial year. But this seem to have fallen on a rocky desert.
