BANYAKIGEZI KWETERANA VARSITY! Kabale University accused of nepotism despite being a public institution
A concerned Ugandan has raised concerns over open nepotism being practiced at Kabale University when it comes to giving jobs.
The university is funded and owned by the GoU (public university) but it allegedly only employs people from the Kigezi region.
One wonders why it does not have a national representation of the many tribes in Uganda in terms of employment to top positions yet all Ugandans regardless of tribe are taxpayers who contribute over shs65bn for the institution’s operations in terms of salaries, nssf, pension gratuity and capital development every year among others.
“It would be better to call it a community university of the banyakigezi instead of pretending that it is a government University. The University’s method of recruitment for both staff and government is questionable and predominantly headhunting,” this concerned citizen wonders and adds:
“Why is it that almost 99% of people in management and governance are from Kigezi and Kabale in particular? They keep advertising when people are already in posts who have been headhunted wasting people’s time and transport to travel to Kabale for interviews. People interview yet their people are already working under the covers of part time, temporary, volunteer, internship…”
The concerned citizen feels people in the education ministry, Mps on education committee of parliament, the IGG, Public Service and even President Museveni should interest themselves in this matter by tasking in particular the Vice Chancellor and Chairperson of the University Council to explain why the taxpayer should continue to fund this type of nepotism in a government institution.
“Are there no suitable Ugandans in Uganda to work in those positions ring-fenced for the banyakigezi only all the way from the Chancellor, vice chancellor, management, council members, and chairmen of different boards, committees including the staff tribunal?” asks this concerned citizen.
A look at the top is the son of the soil—Professor George Mondo Kagonyera as the current Chancellor of Kabale University.
