Prof Benon Basheka

Kabale University deputy vice chancellor in charge of academic affairs Prof Benon Basheka has been sacked over gross misconduct and insubordination.    

In a press statement dated March 13 signed by Prof Joy Constance Kwesiga, the university vice chancellor,  Basheka handed over office on Wednesday this week.

When contacted, Kwesiga confirmed the sacking of Basheka but said that it was the decision of the university disciplinary committee, appointments board and the university council where he recently appeared and was found guilty of misconduct.

A highly placed source in the university administration who preferred anonymity revealed that Basheka recently pleaded guilty to abuse of office, abetting crime, and gross insubordination, contrary to the Kabale University human resource manual.

After pleading guilty, the committees unanimously voted to remove him from office. Efforts to get a comment from Basheka were futile as his mobile phone could not go through.   

On February 7, 2024, Basheka petitioned the office of the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) demanding intervention and investigations about the mismanagement of students' results at Kabale University, de-enrolment of some students by the academic registrar’s department to sit exams without knowledge of the finance department, existence of many inactive students in the system, unauthorized changes in fees structures of some students when the finance department is not aware and unauthorized change of students from private students to government sponsorship among others.
