The Makerere University Visitation Committee 2016, led by Deputy Chairperson, Hon. Lady Justice Ketrah Katunguuka handed over their report to President @KagutaMuseveni at our home of Rwakitura in Kiruhuura District, I am pleased to have witnessed the event

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | In a discovery reminiscent of the ghost soldiers that plagued the UPDF, a visitation committee that was appointed by President Museveni to inquire into the persistent strikes and financial problems of Makerere University discovered that 16000 students in the enrollment register are unaccounted for.

In its report findings, the committee unearthed shocking discrepancies between the number of students submitted for verification and those who were verified during the headcount.

According to the report, the university management presented to the committee student nominal rolls containing 46,128 names for verification categorised as “continuing, newly admitted and graduate students”.

However, it was established that only 29,889 students (65 per cent) were verified during the committee’s headcount exercise as of February, 2017.
