The Minister of Defense and Veterans Affairs Adolf Mwesige has said the Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF) is withdrawing from Makerere University systematically.
“To all members of the fourth estate, this is not just an individual. It is about the dreams we share, the aspirations we have and the responsibilities we have before the citizens of Uganda to serve them in a free, protected and safe environment. Let no journalist cover a police related activity,” Kazibwe asks journalists.
The directive by the IGP was prompted by a petition by Elias Nuwagaba, a staff whose dismissal from the university was set aside by the university Staff Appeals Tribunal early this year.
