The president of the National Unity Platform Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu a.k.a Bobi Wine has donated food items to starving Kyambogo and Makaerere University students at the political headquarters at Kavule.
The students who had run out of funds to cater for their daily livelihoods welcomed the presidential gesture and asked other welwishers to come and give a hand to those other students who need help.
According to Bobi Wine , government-sponsored students at public universities continue to starve, yesterday we extended some food relief to students from Kyambogo University, in addition to the relief we extended to Makerere students last week. They told us how they have been starving, unable to concentrate on their studies! Many students have been forced into prostitution in order to afford life! Other students have been forced to resort to begging in Banda, Wandegeya and other places. This humiliation and indignity of our young people is presided over by Gen. Museveni’s wife who he anointed the Minister of Education.
