Lecturers in public universities in Uganda have threatened to go on a sit-down strike if the government fails to implement the presidential directive of enhancing salaries of academic staff in the institutions.

According to an April 25 letter from the University Professional and Academic Staff Union (UPASU), addressed to the Minister of Public Service, the staff have given the government three months, from May 1 to August 1, to enhance the salaries of lecturers to one hundred percent.

For more on this, Lulu Gaboo speaks to Prof Kituyi Mayoka, the union's national chairperson.
