Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Vice Chancellor of Makerere University, Prof Barnabas Nawangwe, insists that the institution will continue with its investigations into the \u2018Speaker Among exam paper\u2019 that they think fell below their standards.<\/b><\/p>\n

Prof Nawangwe said despite the Speaker wondering why the lecturers of the law school are being investigated for setting an exam paper that depicted real House proceedings and real names, including herself, Makerere\u2019s inquest is about quality assurance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Speaker is free to comment on the matter, but Makerere is investigating the quality of the examination paper. It is Makerere quality assurance action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Prof Nawangwe in a May 15 letter tasked Dr Ronald Naluwairo, the acting principal of the School of Law, \u201cto call an emergency meeting of the School Academic Board to investigate the [Principles of Constitutional Law II] paper.\u201d<\/p>\n

But on May 22, Ms Among in a post shared on microblogging site X, said as Parliament, they welcome public scrutiny, which, she said, is a pillar upon which a strong representative Parliament is founded.<\/p>\n

\u201c….I hold the view that this is a free society in which freedom of expression is guaranteed and sacrosanct, including academic freedom promoted under Article 29 (1) (b) which protects academic freedom,\u201d Ms Among stated.<\/p>\n

However, Ms Among was quick to say the examiners are duty-bound to give the proper context of what exactly transpired in the House.<\/p>\n

\u201cI, therefore, find no fault in the exam set for the students and I believe our duty will be to give the students unbiased context on what exactly happened during the sitting in issue, so that, as academicians, they form their own opinion on the conduct of public affairs and how they will improve them when it is their turn to be in charge,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Dr Kabumba Busingye together with Prof Joe Oloka-Onyango teach Constitutional Law at Makerere University School of Law. Core to the exam was that Speaker Among, who was projected to have been stung by the recent sanctions imposed against her by the UK, vowed to deal with those writing malicious reports about her.<\/p>\n

The examiner(s), further in the case study, project the Speaker to be trying to mount a fight back via a \u201cSpeaker\u2019s Bill\u201d that she introduced in the House.<\/p>\n

The said Bill allegedly contained several provisions such as no person shall adversely comment on the office of the Speaker and particularly about the person of Anita Among; and any person who violates the above provision commits an offense against the people of Uganda and is liable to a five-year jail sentence on conviction.<\/p>\n

The parliamentary case study goes on to note that LoP Joel Besekezi Ssenyonyi stood up and protested the new Bill introduced by the Speaker and its process. The case study goes on to show that when Mr Ssenyonyi persisted with his protest, he was expelled from the House by the Speaker. The said Bill was passed into law despite a lack of quorum before being assented to by President Museveni.<\/p>\n

At the end of the case study, the examiner\/s tasked the students to highlight constitutional law issues raised.<\/p>\n
