Bunyoro MPs Renew Push For Public University

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news August 10, 2021

Legislators coming from the Bunyoro sub-region are set to meet President Museveni on August 11th, 2021. The said meeting is to address the issue of delayed establishment of a public university in the sub-region.

Elections of the new leadership for the Bunyoro Parliamentary Caucus happened last month.

During these elections, Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja promised legislators to organize a meeting with President Museveni; during which they will iron out key issues affecting their sub-region.

Currently, the latest information indicates that Bunyoro legislators will meet the president on Wednesday this week. The meeting will take place at State House in Entebbe.

When questioned, some of the MPs said the main focus of the meeting will be to agitate for the establishment of a public university in Bunyoro.

It is one of the three major sub-regions without a public university. The others are Karamoja and Bugisu.

Over the last three presidential campaigns, President Museveni has continuously promised to construct a university in the region. However, no visible efforts have been made to realize this dream.

The chairperson of the Bunyoro Parliamentary Caucus, Jacob Karubanga said there were many controversies on the location of the institution. He also said that these controversies have since been resolved.

He further warned that members who will move against the caucus resolution to front their personal issues, risk disciplinary action.
