High Court has ordered for the reinstatement of
Makerere University Research Fellow, Dr. Stella Nyanzi after it found that the
institution was in contempt of it’s Staff Appeals Tribunal when it suspended
her.
High
Court Civil Division Judge Lydia Mugambe yesterday ordered the University to
compensate Stella Nyanzi 120 million shillings, promote her to the rank
of Senior Research Fellow, pay all her salary emoluments and then reinstate her
on job.
The Judge found that the University was in contempt of it’s Staff Appeals
tribunal by failing to promote, paying and reinstating her on job as the
Tribunal had previously ordered.
In November 2018, Dr Nyanzi through her lawyer Isaac
Ssemakadde dragged Makerere University to the High Court accusing the
Institution for failing to implement the orders of Makerere University Staff
Appeals Tribunal led by George Omunyokol which held that her suspension was
illegal and thus ordered for her promotion , reinstatement and payment of
all her two-year emoluments. END
