Following the public outcry by the starving Government Sponsored students at Makerere University, today we met over 300 of them at the @NUP_Ug Headquarters and shared food items with them to enable them mitigate their suffering. We also served them lunch. These students have gone several months without their living allowances, causing most of them to starve. Now organized under 'Makerere Hungry Students Association', they narrated the problems they have had to endure, including some female students being forced to engage in indecent acts trying to survive. Some students have developed ulcers, while others have fainted due to hunger and starvation. SHAME ON THE MUSEVENI REGIME. Each day we see scandal after scandal involving billions of shillings, yet the regime can't find money to feed the few government sponsored students!! How can we build for the future, while students go through such indignity and humiliation? How are they expected to study under the weight of hunger? As always, the police tried to block this activity by ordering students not to come or risk being suspended! We are glad that many students decided to come and pick the little relief we had to offer despite the intimidation. The regime will always find the money to deploy and block our activities, but they can't find money to solve the problems causing the discontent! SHAME! We shall only get ourselves out of this crisis by removing a regime that has zero regard for the people!
