Hoima Residence District Commissioner Kisembo has instituted a six member committee to investigate allegations of mismanagement and illegal dismissals of students at Buhimba Technical institute.

This follows a petition by the school students on Wednesday morning to his office protesting what they described as poor administration, harassment and illegal dismissals by the school principal one Akoki Anyamo.

The students led by the school guild president claimed that over 15 students have been indefinitely dismissed from the school for advocating for their education rights.

However, the suspension letter seen by www.mknewslink.com indicates that the students were suspended for engaging in a strike.

William Natukunda, the former vice guild president, says that the school principal does not provide materials for practical lessons in time and the boys dormitory is in a sorry state.

However, RDC Kisembo instituted a six member committee led by the Kikuube district Internal Security Officer, DPC and others to investigate the claims and compile a report by Tuesday next week.

He asked those suspended to keep away from the school premises until a report is out and cautioned against any form of strike.
Efforts to get a comment from the school principal was futile by press time.

The public has been challenged to embrace the use of coins as it is also Ugandas legal tender.
During the town hall meeting at Cephas Inn Kabale, the public raised a concern of the coins which they said give them headache to carry. They asked Bank of Uganda to do away with coins, since they have been severally rejected by the majority.
Bank Managers also told the officials that their clients refuse coins whenever they are withdrawing cash over the counters.
However, Bank of Uganda Governor, Emmanuel Tumusiime Mutebile in a speech read for him by Dr Adam Mugume, the executive director for Research, asked the public to embrace the use of coins since they last longer than paper money.
The rejection of coins, the governor said has given traders an opportunity of increasing prices of goods and services they offer to the nearest since the 50 shillings coin is not in use.
Mutebile also called upon banks to ensure that they maintain a good practice of giving people change of larger for smaller denominations, at the banking hall counters and ATM machines, so that their customers continue to value their services.
