People power movement has unveiled over 700 students leaders from 247 higher institutions of learning across the country who are going to coordinate people power activities.
The students leaders unveiled today have been cautioned
against bagging or accepting money from the state and its agents, saying this tantamount
to treason. Says, Hon. Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu the national coordinator people
power movement.
At the event held in Hon. Kyagulanyi’s residence in Magere-
Wakiso district, He reminded the students leaders who are now people power coordinators
in higher institutions of learning not to confront the state. “ Any
confrontations with the state from those that oppose it have left many of our
colleges dead and other in jail with no clear charges.” Says Kyagulanyi.
He further says, as students, they have a lot to do for this
nation to see that it gets the leadership that it deserves which cannot be done
by the elderly.
At the event 745 students leaders have been unveiled and
confirmed as people power leaders in their respective institutions of learning
across the country under the leadership of Roy Ssembogo the national coordinator
people power in all higher institutions of learning in Uganda.
Meanwhile, Hon. Kyagulanyi castigates the continued police
brutality against innocent citizens which he says will be stopped by people
changing leadership in this country.
He also advised journalists in Uganda to speak with one
voice if they are to challenge the current poor working conditions.
Recently Ugandan journalists under their mother body, Uganda
Journalists Association put on ban on covering police activities and agreed to
petition the police boss Martin Okoth Ochola. But in the process of delivering
the petition to the IGP, police tear gassed and arrested some of them including
their president, Haji. Kazibwe Bashir.
