{UAH} Ntambirweki sacked as Pentecostal University boss

Abudul Semakula,


Is this the same John Ntambirweki who was at Livingstone Hall? He was
briefly Chairman of the Hall, but was removed in a vote of
no-confidence led by Krispus Ayena Odongo and others? I think I was
first year student then? I thought he was a politician in the NRA? I
never imagined that he became an acdemic.

In Summary

No confidence. Uganda Pentecostal University bosses gave 17 reasons
for his sacking.

Kabarole. The Board of Directors of Uganda Pentecostal University
(UPU) has sacked the Vice Chancellor, Prof John Ntambirweki.
In a September 2 letter to Prof Ntambirweki signed by Mr Nester
Byamugisha, the vice chairperson Board of Governors UPU, the Board of
Directors UPU at its meeting held at UPU Kampala Study Centre Rubaga
on September 1, unanimously resolved that Prof Ntabirweki's contract
with the university be terminated with immediate effect. Prof
Ntambirweki has been VC for 10 years.
The board stated 17 grounds for his sacking among them lack of respect
for the board, other organs and staff members of the university,
insubordination and usurping the powers of other organs of the
university.
The others are Prof Ntambirweki's alleged failure to present
university status report, wrongful refusal to issue graduation
certificates, total failure to give accountabilities with regard to
the state of the university, threatening violence and death to staff
and various board members.
But when contacted Prof Ntambirweki dismissed the claims, saying he is
still in office. "They are lying. I am still in my office. I chat with
my students every day," he told Daily Monitor on phone yesterday.
Addressing journalists on Monday at the UPU Fort Portal campus at
Kahungabunyonyi, Mr Balikudembe Kijeru, the board chairperson said
Prof Ntambirweki's indiscipline and irresponsible behaviour resulted
in failure to promote and preserve the good name and image of the
university.
He maintained yesterday when contacted that the professor has been
dismissed. "He may claim he is in office but the board which owns the
university has dismissed him."
