It's funny how neighboring one of the best Universities can turn your dream home into the place of nightmares. The neighborhoods of the University are calling upon different stakeholders to always intervene and calm down the students since they destroy lots of their property as well as crippled their businesses whenever they are striking.

Ronald Ahereza, a shopkeeper in Kikumi Kikumi said that since the strike started, his earnings have completely dropped amidst a number of the dependents. This has made him fail to pay for the school fees of his children.

In addition, Ahereza said his eyes are seriously inching due to the teargas.

In the same way, Kuzaara Nabukenya, an elder in Kikoni held that police jealously destroyed their property which included food, stock in the shops part of which was looted and some destroyed.

Nabukenya also blames the decline of sanitation in their areas on the striking students who put  rubbish on the roads.

The most recent strike being on the 15% tuition increment, Habibu Katende a final year student of Political Science argued that the Military and the Uganda Police have not allow the students to express their dissatisfactions on new policy. This is partly to blame because it diverts demonstrations to the violent direction.
