Kyambogo University, once thought to be a reputable institution, has now become a festering pit of incompetence and disgrace. This so-called “prestigious” university has failed miserably in its duties, racking up an absurd shillings 6.7 billion in salary arrears to its hard-working part-time lecturers. This cesspool of corruption and mismanagement doesn’t care about its staff or students—it only cares about screwing people over and playing a pathetic blame game.
Let’s call it what it is: Kyambogo University is blatantly ripping off its part-time lecturers, hiding behind lame excuses about “financial strain.” What kind of joke is this? How can an institution that claims to be a center of learning treat its staff like disposable garbage? They have over 1,000 part-time lecturers who kept this sinking ship afloat during the 2023/2024 academic year, yet the administration couldn’t even be bothered to pay them. It’s not just shameful; it’s a sick joke.
These lecturers are expected to keep the university running while being treated like beggars. And why? Because their wages are tucked away in the non-wage budget line, which means they are at the mercy of ridiculous quarterly budget releases. The university’s leadership has used this as a convenient excuse to avoid paying its staff on time. This isn’t financial mismanagement—it’s a total scam. The Vice-Chancellor and his cronies are hiding behind bureaucratic nonsense, grinning while their staff suffer. It’s beyond disgraceful.
The madness doesn’t stop there. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this incompetent administration decided to squeeze two academic years into one financial year, further burying the university in debt. It’s like they’re running a circus, and the lecturers and students are just pawns in their idiotic game. Only a fool would think that cramming two years into one is a sustainable solution, but apparently, Kyambogo is run by a bunch of clowns who can’t even balance their books.
Dr. Joyce Moriku Kaducu, the Minister of Primary Education, gave the lamest explanation yet for this dumpster fire. She admitted that the university only operates at 35% of its required staffing level, leaving a 65% gap. So, let’s get this straight: not only is Kyambogo robbing its part-time lecturers blind, but they’re also drastically understaffed. How on earth is this university even functioning? The answer is simple—it’s not. Kaducu’s attempt to justify this mess was just more hollow words. The truth is, Kyambogo University doesn’t give a damn about its staff. They’d rather keep their fat paychecks and leave everyone else to rot.
The leadership at Kyambogo University is a disgrace. They demand excellence from their lecturers but can’t even pay them on time. These hypocrites walk around like they’re running a world-class institution, but all they’ve built is a sinking ship. They’ve abandoned their staff, left them in financial ruin, and couldn’t care less about the long-term damage they’ve caused.
Kyambogo University is an educational wasteland. It’s rotting from the inside out, thanks to its corrupt, lazy, and shameless leadership. They’ve turned what should be a respected institution into a chaotic disaster, where lecturers are treated like dirt, and students suffer the consequences. This university is a sinking ship, and unless they kick out every last one of these crooked administrators, Kyambogo will continue its pathetic descent into irrelevance.
