Mr Kenneth Byarugaba, 3rd year Agricultural Engineering is the new Editor in Chief of The Makererean newspaper. He was appointed by the guild information minister under the auspice of the guild constitution in March.
The student community however is not pleased over concerns that the content of this paper won’t be accurate in the strict sense of mass media.
The Senior PRO of Makerere University, Mr Gilbert Kadilo, when asked why the Editor in Chief should not come from the Mass Communication department, said the paper would be in the right hands with time. He promised to discuss the matter with the university administration.
Meanwhile, the guild Information Minister, Mr Onesimus Twinamasiko, a Mass Communication student, argued that the appointment of the Editor in Chief was in line with the guild constitution. He denied any wrongdoing.
Most Mass Communication students have been raising eyebrows over this appointment as they suspect it was done on political grounds and fear that it may undermine the Integrity of the newspaper.
For the whole of last academic year, the guild leadership under Susan Abbo, the Makererean did not publish any copy.
