The speaker of Parliament Hon Rebecca Kadaga on Thursday morning attended the swearing-in ceremony for Uganda Christian University’s (UCU) new guild government headed by her son Timothy Kadaga as the guild president.
She praised the UCU Vice Chancellor, John Senyonyi and his administration for taking an interest in the students’ life while at the university. The Speaker also thanked UCU voters for trusting her beloved son after telling the revelers how happy her whole family felt after the junior Kadaga emerged winner of the guild race.
“I’m happy to be here today, I want to thank the Vice-Chancellor and the Administration of Uganda Christian University for taking an interest in the entire process of elections. When I was at Makerere University, the Vice-chancellor was very far from students’ affairs.” Kadaga said.
“Let me congratulate Mr. Timothy Kadaga as the guild president of Uganda Christian University, as family, we are happy and I thank you for supporting him,” Kadaga added.
The ceremony, which happened at Nkoyoyo Hall was graced by UCU top leaders as well as other students’ leaders that were recently elected.
In the elections held this month, Timothy Kivunike Kadaga beat Elias Nyakahuma to become the 21st Guild President of UCU.
The Vice Chancellor, Senyonyi, hailed the loser for expressing humility and conceding defeat in the race.
Timothy Kivunike Kadaga, a second year law student, swore to be faithful and bear true allegiance and to preserve, protect, defend and uphold UCU guild constitution.
“Now that we have taken oath we have started work. I will work with Nyakahuma who had good ideas that if implemented we shall move many steps forward,” Kivunike Kadaga said.
Timothy has taken taken over office from Amanya Bruce who has been the current Guild President of UCU, Mukono.
