Makerere University literature professor, Abbas Kiyimba needs more than Shs 100m for further
treatment in South Africa where he has been hospitalized for the last three months.

Prof Kiyimba, also the deputy principal in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, was referred abroad by doctors at Mulago hospital after they failed to cure his condition medically,
known as gastro varices.

The embattled research fellow who was working at Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) Dr Stella Nyanzi has landed on a new job in South Africa.

Nyanzi, who was found guilty of misconduct at MISR after she stripped naked to reclaim her office, something that saw her make headlines for weeks in Ugandan media, told journalism.mak.ac.ug in a Facebook message that she doubts whether she will ever return to Makerere, now that she has landed on greener pastures.

Once again, Kyambogo University is in a crisis, after its efforts to obtain a substantive vice chancellor ended in shambles, last week CHRISTOPHER TUSIIME has been looking at what happened and whether there is hope after the ashes.

Last week, University Council Chairman Prof John Okedi confirmed that the search for a new
vice chancellor had been cancelled after divisions emerged over who was running for the position.
