Professor George Mondo Kagonyera, the Makerere University Chancellor has asked parliament to ratify the autonomy of Makerere University Business School (MUBS).
While giving his address at the 6th graduation function at Makerere University Business School Nakawa campus on May 27, the Professor said that MUBS development will remain low if it remains an affiliate of Makerere University.
The Makerere University Business School Principal, Wasswa Walunywa also adds that MUBS’ appeals to become an independent university is long over due and some fierce words have been exchanged between the administrations of the two universities.
Balunywa says that the development of MUBS has been hampered by Makerere University. He adds that whenever they ask for donations and scholarships they are (MUBS) bounced because of the affiliation element.
He asks the newly installed 9th parliament to make the issue of MUBS autonomy a crucial one.
