Makerere University management is set to meet with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Service to resolve the ongoing staff strike.
Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mukadasi Buyinza, said this in his response to a plea by Guild President Lubega Nsamba, who had urged the university to engage with the striking staff to end the impasse.
In his letter dated October 11, addressed to the Guild President, Buyinza said that the university had previously attempted to resolve the matter through dialogue and consultation. However, the recent invitation by the Permanent Secretary offers a new opportunity for a discussion.
Makerere University staff started industrial action at the beginning of the week to protest the institution’s failure to harmonize their salaries with those of staff at other public universities. End.
