Posted by: Eninu William in Uganda news July 16, 2022

The family of the late student, Betungura Bewatte, stabbed at Makerere Guild campaigns a few days ago and the country at large is still in shock over his unfortunate and avoidable murder.

His father is reportedly calling upon any girl that has his son’s pregnancy to come forward. NTV journalist, Sudhir Byaruhanga, revealed this.

“The father of the UCU student who died after he was stabbed during campaigns at Makerere yesterday is calling upon any girl with his pregnancy to approach him,” Sudhir tweeted.

Betungura was a second-year law student at Uganda Christian University in Mukono.

He however had gone to support his fellow FDC member and OB from Mbarara High School, Justus Tukamushaba. This was during the 88th Makerere University guild elections campaigns.

However, as the Makerere University guild elections are known for so much violence, Betungura didn’t leave to see another day.

This was after a scuffle ensued between supporters of NUP and FDC at the MUK Rugby grounds. Police have already arrested a number of people in regard to this matter.

Makerere University also proceeded to make a number of changes in regards to these elections. For example, they terminated the elections indefinitely. They also suspended the Makerere University students Guild immediate effect.

Also, the management is going to investigate all cases of violence in these guild campaigns. They shall then report these to the council for appropriate action.

Police has already arrested three people in connection with this murder including Kabuye Frank, the MP for Kasanda. The University has for long criticized the politicization of these student elections.

It has also criticized the outsourcing of mercenaries outside the University to campaign on behalf of these students.
