President Museveni has ordered Makerere University to respond to the Visitation Committee report findings about the financial ills, suspected ghost staffing and use of outdated ICT system that has facilitated examination fraud and forgery students marks.

The university yesterday announced it had appointed a taskforce to study the findings and recommendations of the report and advise the University Council on the right action to take.

Vice Chancellor Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe said the 11-member committee would expeditiously study the report and communicate the university position to President Museveni through the Ministry of Education.

He said that the Committee will carefully study the recommendations and guide the University Council and management accordingly. It is important that issues concerning Africa’s most prestigious university are handled with utmost seriousness.

He said the university will submit its official response to the Minister of Education and Sports, Ms Janet Museveni, before the end of February.
