I Okello Simon, do hereby bring to your knowl-

edge at your disposal my manifesto upon which

you can base on to gauge my ability to serve you

as RESIDENT CAMPUS COMMISSIONERNamasagali campus, Bustema university for

the period of 2013/2014 term of service as apotential candidate.

Before coming up with this manifesto, it hascome to my notice from the time of my stay here

as a student, that Namasagali campus of

Busitema university needs a focused leader who

never gives room to compromise of students

rights. And this is the time for us to locate and

vote for OKELLO SIMON ready to deliver

services for the good of us the students ofBusitema University in these forth coming guildelections.

I present this manifesto both to the students

guild of Busitema university and the manage-ment of Busitema university as an epistle of

genuine administration but mostly as a docu-mentation of the achievable demands of students

and thereby the necessity of a mutual and re-

spectful synergy between the students guild of

Namasagali campus and the management ofBusitema university for transformation from the

previous way of leadership towards enhancing

students rights.

The guiding tenets of this manifesto is to act as abasis upon which I can be assessed suitable and

capable Resident Campus Commissioner ofNamasagali campus during and after the soon

guild elections, and upon which the elected

CGRC will be held accountable.

Back ground

My first arrival at Busitema university, was

when I was on my way to the search for aca-demic glory that never ceases more so in this

21st century. Today I pride in the knowledge and

scientific wisdom that I have harnessed as a re-

sult of my stay at Busitema University, Namasa-

gali campus.

During my incipient periods at Namasagali cam-pus, I had hopes of a real university life, but

since then I have been served with the reverse,

most of this being as a consequence of igno-

rance and reluctance of the guild leaders to-

wards a advocating for students rights. There-

fore, basing on this, I today weigh myself a ca-

pable and potential candidate to represent the

student guild of Busitema university, Namasa-

gali campus with the motion of STUDENT SRIGHTS FIRST.

I am a born of eastern Uganda in Serere district.

Pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Natu-

ral Resources Economics in my second year.

Having seen and experienced the administrative

gaps and weaknesses in the previous leadership

of the student guild at this Campus, I have been

faced by a strong willingness to champion a new

cause of our campus but mostly by the spirit ofserving the students guild at campus level and

Busitema university with a major focus on stu-

dents rights first.

INTRODUCTION

At this crucial moment, we are faced by a num-

ber of challenges amidst us that have manifestedas a result of numerous happenings others at our

reach, and others beyond our control. But as it is

commonly known that there is no challenge

beyond your ability to contain, here comes anopportunity for the students guild of Namasagali

campus to get a solution to these immense but

manageable challenges for the betterment of our

academics, welfare and our rights as students ofBusitema university, Namasagli campus in this

forth coming guild elections.

Policy framework

This manifesto has been produced as a compos-

ite output of the considerations of the legal andpolicy frame work implied in the Busitema uni-versity council, students guild constitution,

without betting an eye to the provisions of theuniversity Senate, parliament of the Republic of

Uganda and the prospective guild constitution of

BUSITEMA University.

OBJECTIVES OF THE MANIFESTO

To pledge my complete indebted willingness

to serve the students guild of Busitema

university, Namasagali campus.To be an advocate for necessary changes

that have always seen Namasagali cam-

pus left behind in almost all activities

concerning the students of Busitema

University as one

3. To voice and challenge the slogan of stu-

dents rights a side to a new conceptual slogan

of students rights first.

1.0 AcademicsNamasagali campus of Busitema University is a

science and field based faculty that needsenough science requirements for the success of

practical learning both in the library, lecturerooms, and field work

The problems associated with this form of set-

ting ranges from those in the library, as a result

of few relevant and up to date learning materialsin form of textbooks and the unreliable internet

service that would act as an alternative for the

insufficiently stocked library.

Policy demand

The university with the advocacy of the RCC

should ensure that the library is relevantlystocked with up to date textbooks.

The faculty should ensure reliability of the inter-

net connections to enable alternative research

work beyond the currently un available text-books.

1.1 Students welfare

The students welfare at Namasagali campus is

not up to our expectations as students but this

can be changed by the students guild;

This is as a result of delayed feeding allow-ances, and faculty allowances that limit the stu-

dents from accessing their basic needs in time;

We understand that this may partly not be theresponsibility of the students guild but with ef-

fective guild leadership that puts students rights

first;

This can change for betterment of the students

Policy demand

The CGRC should advocate for early delivery ofthe students allowances in order to let the stu-

dents acquire their necessities

The university should look into ways of assist-

ing the privately sponsored students in terms onwelfare since they also subscribe to the univer-

sity students guild

1.3 Water

This has been a major problem whereby the stu-

dents have suffered for a long time without run-

ning tap water that has on many occasions

made the students to struggle for bore hole water

with the neighboring community;

This in addition exposes the students to the risksof taking direct water from the river.

Policy demand

Since it is a universal fundamental right for usall to a clean and safe environment;

Right to water,

The university should ensure that there is con-

stant running tap water given the fact that we

are advantaged by living just a adjacent to the

great Nile River, the major source.

The currently redundant water tanks should beput to use so as to enable us harvest water for

use during times of water scarcity.

1.4 Accommodation

The accommodation facilities at this campus is

not satisfactory for us the students whereby

some of us sleep in open places where one can

not enjoy privacy as a grown up person.

Policy demand

The holes of residence more so the one for malestudents mult-purpose should be partitioned

to ensure that the students get privacy;

This right of privacy is provided for by the con-

stitution of the Republic of Uganda.

1.5 Non-residents

This has been challenging my understanding

ever since I reported to Namasagali campus;

The welfare of the non-resident students tend

not be concerned about by the guild;This is in terms of assisting them look for con-

venient places for residences and also visiting

them to see how they are progressing;

Policy demand

The students guild of Busitema Universityshould put in place arrangements to foster the

welfare of the non-residents

This is because; it is their right to be non-

residents but not their duty to be ignored by the

university guild.

1.6 Associations

The students guild body is comprised of a num-ber of student associations at this campus, both

cultural, developmental and environmental asso-ciations and more are still coming up.

But these associations have face and are still

facing numerous challenges as a result of less or

no input of the students guild of the university.

Policy demand

The students guild should assist these associa-

tions to promote their progress,This can be done through assisting them to reg-

ister and also finance their activities such as

community outreaches,

This is because; the presence and progress ofthese associations benefit not only the students

but also the entire university.

1.7 Guild projects

The guild is required by the constitution of the

students guild to start up projects to benefit the

students; such projects can be the canteen which

is almost nonexistent at Namasagali campus as

if we dont have student leaders

The campus needs to have camps seats

Policy demand

The guild should open up guild projects like the

canteen to ensure that the welfare of students is

up held.

The campus should have quality campus seats as

an initiative of the guild

1.8 Games and sports

On many occasions, Namasagali campus has

been almost ignored when it comes to games

and sports of the university;

This has been inform delayed arrival the re-

quirements for sports such as balls for practice,

no facilitation of the coaches, and the othergames at other campuses that Namasagali is re-

quired to take part in, but we do not have the

necessities.Policy demand

The guild should ensure fair distribution of the

necessities for sports to Namasagali in order to

enable us fully exercise our talents in sports and

games.

The guild should provide Namasagali campuswith sports jazzes, shorts, boots and all the re-

quirements for sports both ladies and gentlemen;

This is a students right does not need compro-

mise.

CONCLUSION

TO THE STUDENT/ ELECTORATES NA-

MASAGALI CAMPUS

I present myself not as the best and most ca-

pable candidate since I do not know the

measure of capability, neither do I align my-

self as the best speaker, but since leaders are

judged by their works, I align myself as a

potential contestant for the post of Resident

Campus Commissioner,

Leadership is about service deliveryMAY GOD ENABLE YOU VOTE FOR
