We, the undersigned, petition the Uganda's Minister of Education and Sports to locate the public university in Bunyoro at a site that is the most suitable as per technical evaluations. We are aware of the following:
- Key stakeholders proposed pieces of land on which government can construct a public university in Bunyoro. At least eight sites were duly presented to the University Establishment Committee.
- The many (8+) sites were subjected to suitability tests and the best sites were derived following technical parameters.
- The best site that was identified needs the host community's endorsement a process a few politicians have hijacked to favor a different site.
We decry of any political interference, influence peddling and a risk of public funds to be wasted on a non viable site.
We call up on the Uganda's Minister of Education and Sports to implement what has been technically approved and disregard unnecessary political interference.
Enough with the games. Just build it where the experts said to put it. Why are we letting politicians waste our time like this?
