Kampala, Uganda - The establishment of Bunyoro University, a highly anticipated educational institution in Uganda, faces a formidable hurdle as land acquisition delays continue to impede progress. While the dream of this university has garnered widespread enthusiasm, the protracted process of securing suitable land has cast a shadow over its timeline.

The delays primarily stem from the allocation of land for the university, specifically at the Uganda Cooperative College Kigumba (UCCK) campus in Kiryandongo district. This setback has raised concerns about the overall timeline for the university's establishment, but there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon.

In a move that underscores the urgency of the situation, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education, Ketty Lamaro, has called for a crucial meeting. This meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, September 12, 2023, at the UCCK campus in Kiryandongo district, aims to bring together key stakeholders to address the pressing issue of land allocation for Bunyoro University.
The significance of this meeting cannot be overstated. It represents a pivotal moment in the journey toward realizing Bunyoro University. The meeting is expected to facilitate discussions, negotiations, and decisions that could break the deadlock surrounding land acquisition.

The delay in establishing Bunyoro University not only affects the educational aspirations of the region but also jeopardizes the broader goals of providing accessible higher education and fostering community development.

The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with local authorities, recognizes the critical importance of Bunyoro University and is working diligently to expedite the land acquisition process. The meeting called by Permanent Secretary Ketty Lamaro is a clear indication of the government's commitment to overcoming these challenges and ensuring that the dream of Bunyoro University becomes a reality.

While the delays have been frustrating, they have also served as a reminder of the complexities involved in major infrastructure projects. Careful planning, meticulous due diligence, and effective collaboration between government agencies, educational institutions, and local communities are essential to surmount these obstacles.

As stakeholders prepare to convene on September 12th, there is renewed hope that a solution will emerge. The people of Uganda, particularly those in the Bunyoro region, look forward to the outcome of this meeting with anticipation, as it holds the key to unlocking the potential of Bunyoro University and ushering in a brighter future for all.

By Kundu Ronald Mbarara, Uganda - September 3, 2023 President Yoweri Museveni has made a remarkable gesture of goodwill by contributing 50 million Ugandan shillings towards the finalization of the Emmanuel Church of Uganda in Rwenkanja, located in Kashari County, Mbarara district. This generous donation reflects the President's commitment to community development and the preservation of cultural and historical landmarks. The Emmanuel Church of Uganda has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1965 by the late Esteri Kokundeka. Alongside the church, the Esteri Kokundeka Memorial Primary and Secondary School were founded, both of which have played pivotal roles in education and social transformation within the local community. Esteri Kokundeka's visionary decision to start the church under the shade of a eucalyptus tree, using drums to gather Christians for worship, is still remembered fondly. It represents a symbol of resilience and faith that has endured...

Charges Dropped Against Gen. Kale Kayihura on Eve of Retirement

By Kundu Ronald In a surprising turn of events, the military court martial located in Makindye, a suburb of the Ugandan capital Kampala, announced the dropping of charges against former Inspector General of Police, Gen. Kale Kayihura. This decision comes on the cusp of Gen. Kayihura's retirement from the Uganda People's Defence Forces, scheduled for tomorrow. Gen. Kayihura's acquittal, which was made public on Wednesday, August 30, has left many questioning the rationale behind the sudden development. Having faced a litany of charges including failure to protect materials and supervise police officers, Gen. Kayihura's legal journey has been marked by both remand and subsequent bail, granted by the same court in 2020. The announcement of the dropped charges follows President Museveni's decision, just a month ago, to retire Gen. Kayihura from his military service. This move effectively marks the conclusion of a distinguished military career spanning an imp...
