MUBS Staff Salaries Normalized After Years of Discrepancies

KAMPALA, UGANDA – Makerere University Business School (MUBS) has resolved long-standing pay discrepancies affecting its staff, bringing relief to employees who had endured inconsistent salaries for years.

Others praised Principal Muhwezi’s leadership, citing his achievements ina single year. “Prof. Muhwezi has solved the PTH problem, a cancer that had persisted for over 13 years, in his first year in office. Imagine what he can do as substantive principal,” said a staff member.

The staff also expressed their joy and gratitude on social media, with one saying, “Our dearest Principal Prof. MM, you have delivered and saved souls. Thank you so much, it’s jubilation only.”

Another staff member added, “It seemed like a dream many years ago, but today, August 5, 2024, PTH is no more. Topnotch for all is finally here! Congratulations to the last PTH group. We thank God and our Principal Prof. Moses Muhwezi.”
