A probe by the Inspector General of Government into the mismanagement of Kyambogo University has unearthed wide-ranging decay at the Institution from failed students being aided to graduate, to lecturers subletting University residences to students in violation of tenancy agreements.

In a report released to the Speaker of Parliament Rebecca Kadaga yesterday, the Inspector of Government, Justice Irene Mulyagonja, also punched holes in the skills majority of top management officials at the University, dismissing them as incompetent and noted that this university has one professor yet it is the second largest government university in the country.

Parliament in 2012 directed the IGG to probe Kyambogo University following a spate of student strikes and allegations of mismanagement and corruption by top officials at the Institution. The IGG investigation also found that the skills of a person holding the offices of University Secretary, Dean of Students, Academic Registrar and Bursar of the University left a lot to be desired. The University secretary was found to be incompetent and totally out of depth.

The IGG observed in the report that the removal  of the former Vice chancellor Kyambogo university, Prof. Isaiah Ndiege, from office has not brought much satisfaction to this university staff about their leadership because  currently there are new waves of complaints about the administration of  the Acting Vice chancellor Prof. Eli Katunguka. The IGG investigation also found support for allegations that there have been instances where marks have been altered to facilitate failed students to graduate.

The report by IGG indicates that the staff still complain about irregular appointments and promotions at Kyambogo university by Prof. Katunguka. Other complaints include corruption in handling of university tuition and admission of students that are not registered up to graduation time.

To resolve the mess at the institution, the Inspectorate of Government recommends an amendment of the University and Other Tertiary Universities Act to specify membership to the University Council and an independent assessment to reshuffle the structure. Speaker Rebecca Kadaga agreed with the IGG saying government has ignored the education institutions but as soon as members of parliament get done with the party primaries, she is to forward the report back to the committee on education.
