Sometime next week, the Mubs governing council will hold a session to majorly do two things. One will be to officially receive back Principal Prof Juma Wasswa Balunywa who has since secured another term at the helm of the business school having been brought back following President Museveni’s executive order. The second agenda item will be trimming Council Chairman Prof Venescias Baryamureeba who some members say has previously acted in a manner that requires some disciplinary procedures being taken against him. “He has lately been outspoken in the media and pronounced himself on many things regarding Mubs and created an impression he was speaking on behalf of Council whereas not. These were his personal views,” anonymously said a council member adding that the required two-thirds (2/3) of members had signed up requisitioning for a council meeting during which Baryamureeba will be required to explain his actions and utterances. It was further revealed that there is a group of council members who have never accepted Baryamureeba since the heavily contested council elections in which he defeated Prof Sam Luboga who was backed by the Ministry of Education for the position of Council chairman. Such members have never warmed up to Baryamureeba and would be eager to jump on any opportunity to pay him back. Prof Luboga is one of the three top Makerere dons the Education Minister Janet Museveni chose to represent the MoES on the Mubs Council. The other two are professors DJ Kabasa and Micheal Kansiime both of Makerere college of Veterinary medicine. The other council member said to be nursing quiet ambitions to become council chairman is businessman Isaac Mubarak who represents the public on Council. It was this Mubarak who eventually chaired the recent council meeting where Prof Moses Muhwezi had been appointed to serve as Ag Principal after Balunywa’s contract had expired. This was after members led by Shifrah Lukwago (public representative) and Moses Okwera Mugisha (KCCA representative) insisted Baryamureeba was procedurally constrained to chair the day’s session since he had previously given his views objecting to Balunywa’s reappointment.
