Makerere University Bursar Augustine Tamale has announced that the Living Out Allowances (LOA) for government sponsored students will be paid between Thursday and Friday this week.
Tamale was responding to allegations that the university had used the funds to pay incentives for lecturers who were on strike.
Government sponsored students at Makerere are still exchanging bitter words with their leaders, with some planning to strike, after they were informed that their long awaited allowances will be channeled through mobile money.
This money had always been sent to students’ bank accounts.
However, according to the university bursar Augustine Tamale, the process has been changed to E-wallet (or suing mobile money) by the government.
