The Makerere University Visitation Committee has called for establishment of task-force that will oversee the implementation of a number of recommendations set to address deficiencies that have bedevilled Makerere for years.

According to the visitation committee report, the task force should “develop a twenty (20) years’ comprehensive Operational Viability Analysis (OVA) detailing strategic goals, strategy, governance and management structures, legal framework, required resources, job analysis, cost structures and revenue streams.”

The task force is also supposed to “develop an Implementation Plan for the University Reforms, and provide strategic oversight for the implementation of the Plan including the recommendations of the Rwendeire Committee.”

The Taskforce that has to be situated in the Ministry of Education should comprise of up to seven members with competences in corporate governance, legal, finance, strategic planning, human resource management, ICT and higher education curriculum development.

This follows the handover of the report to President Museveni and the First Lady Janet Museveni who is also the Minister of Education last Friday at their home in Rwakitura by acting chairperson, Justice Ketra Katunguka after the death of the appointed chairperson Dr Abel Rwendeire in October last year.
