Thanks @MakerereVC & ur team for embracing local IT systems of our innovators. If more #MDAs can follow suit & cut on the appetite for procuring heavily priced foreign IT systems, our ecosystem would grow by leaps & bounds . The law to enforce this is in the pipeline @Tybisa

I have had the pleasure to meet Mr. Ssuubi Henry Kiyimba the student who was mercilessly attacked on social media as unfit to come to Makerere. I have encouraged him to enjoy his stay at Makerere and work hard on his future career.

You know, I have read many contracts in my career. But reviewing an agreement for the services of a robot called Sophia hit me really hard. After 11 years of teaching at @MakerereU School of Law, I know that our law school is not preparing our students for what's already here!
