After going through all the sorts, nobody would believe that the now guild president Roy Ssemboga would dream or wish to serve with his nemesis in the same government.

Surprisingly, we have learnt that the man has been proposing to give Bazil Mwotta, the first runner up, in the recently concluded 6 months polls, a juicy position in his cabinet.

On Saturday evening, the new guild boss, Ssemboga, picked his phone and called his defeated opponent Mwotta with an intent to give him a ministerial position such that they can serve the students fraternity together.

Makerere University vice chancellor Prof John Ddumba-Ssentamu has appealed to striking academic staff to resume working, arguing that the university currently has no money to pay their incentives.

"As University management, we can't promise to pay this money now. We are waiting for government to help us. I appeal to all lecturers to be patient with us as we arrange to get their Incentive arrears," the economics professor said in a phone interview with Journalism@mak.

Just at a time when Makerere University is emersed in a sea of challenges like severe financial constraints and unending strikes by students and staff, the vice chancellor Prof John Ddumba-Ssentamu has come out to say that he loves the institution whole heartedly.

Prof Ddumba-Ssentamu was speaking at a function that was held at Makerere Univeristy on Friday where MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program (MCFSP) awarded 200 scholarhips to needy students to study different programmes at the same campus.
