STRIKING MAKERERE: Makerere University Council is meeting today to discuss the ongoing teaching and non-teaching staff strike over unmet 100% salary increment demands. The meeting had earlier been set for Thursday but was re-scheduled in the wake of Eid celebrations. On Tuesday, both teaching and non-teaching staff of Makerere resolved to lay down their tools over failure by government to double their pay in the 2013/2014 financial year. However, the academic registrars at colleges will continue working since they have to issue provisional and permanent admission letters to first year students expected to report on August 17. Student leaders yesterday warned that they will hop onto the striking wagon if government doesn’t resolve the staff’s grievances by August 16. THIS NEWS UPDATE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Orange Uganda
