-

Kyambogo University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Eli Katunguka, has addressed concerns raised by the Guild President, Mwebesa Reagan, regarding the recent tuition increment. In his response, Professor Katunguka emphasized that student leaders were actively involved in the decision-making process.

Professor Katunguka clarified that both the Guild President and one other student were present . "The student leaders were aware of the impending increment and were part of the discussions," the Vice-Chancellor stated.

However, Professor Katunguka's remarks suggest that the student leadership had ample opportunity to voice their concerns during the decision-making process.

The Vice-Chancellor's response aims to highlight the transparency and inclusiveness of the university's decision-making processes. As the debate over tuition fees continues, this development underscores the importance of effective communication between the university administration and its student representatives.
