The task force set up by the ministry of education to streamline the staff structure at Makerere University has discovered a serious financial crisis.
Prof. John Ddumba Sentamu, Vice Chancellor of Makerere University
The team led by Professor Francis Omaswa today appeared before the education committee of parliament and gave some highlights of their findings.
The team says that the tuition fees at Makerere are low compared to the actual unit cost of university education and other public universities.
The task force has also observed that the delay in remittance of tuition fees for the students sponsored by state house has also affected the operations of the University.
According to the findings state house now owes over 4 billion shillings to Makerere University.
Now the committee chairperson Sylvia Namabidde is asking that all the arrears owed to public universities be cleared immediately.
The task force was set up to see how staff remuneration could be improved after the staff complained of poor pay.
