This year’s Lumbox carnival at the Makerere main grounds went well as Lumumba and Mary Stuart solidarity registered yet another milestone.

The event started at 8:00pm as reggae music played while the famous MC Allan Dziz together with MC Bristol lit it lively with their voices.

The event powered by Capital FM and Senior Common Rooms of Lumumba and Mary Stuart (Box) was kicked off by Elders and the Cambodian army (Gongom Guard Brigade) introductions.

Makerere University police believes the newly installed CCTV cameras will help in fighting crime. The police here say the CCTV cameras will monitor all corners of the university, without need for increased deployment to cover Uganda’s largest university.

The Officer in Charge Makerere Police station, ASP Nickson Okello Onea says the cameras are to add value to the police and increase their capacity and capability.

Organisers of the Lumbox Carnival are still counting losses after they failed to attract big numbers of students for the event on Saturday, October 27.

Only a few students turned up at Makerere College pitch for the carnival, which was organised by students from Lumumba and Mary Stuart halls, leaving the organisers disappointed.

Henry Erunga, a custodian of Mary Stuart Hall, said: "Initially they were given a total of ten million shillings to organise the event but they realised it was not going to be enough, they later sought sponsors for the event."
