Some of you have been asking whether a Registrar had powers (jurisdiction) to hear a case of Contempt of Court. We raised it, and this was his response:

[Martin Ssempa @martinssempa]

Breaking: @ProfNawangwe has suspended 3 students for the crime of telling him "We are hungry".

This brutal response to a student humanitarian Crisis of starvation is a pathetic abuse of administrative power. If @Makerere was a private high school then it would be Okay. But it's an international University training global leaders. What Nawangwe has done to is a failure of leadership to deal with the heart of the matters.

You don't solve hunger and starvation crisis by arrests and dismissals. You solve it by calling stakeholders to sit down and plan a way out. Yesterday while in Brussels I outlined 7 solutions to the crisis Nawangwe could do immediately. See next post.

This suspension and torture of students is a violation of their fundamental rights to 1. Food 2. Shelter and 3. Education. I am going to reach out to Parents, Alumni, Faith leaders and Legal practitioners to make sure the suspended students get a place to stay and food and sit for their exams.

No young person should sell their bodies for food or housing because Nawangwes brutal imposition of the totally failed @WorldBank policy of turning University education into a profit making business empire.
Education is a right for all not just the children of the rich.

We need the help of @IsaacSsemakadde and @ug_lawsociety to help Bang the Tables. All old Guild Presidents we need you onboard. Let's turn black November into a hopeful November for our students in @Makerere @kyambogou @OfficialMubs @MbararaUST and all others

I plan for an X space to discuss this painful issue this evening.
