Makerere University students who took part in the recent riot might serve more punishments.
The Minister for Education and Sports, Dr Kiddu Makubuya, in a ministerial statement to the House on the recent strike said on Tuesday those who wereinvolved will be punished in accordance with the university regulations.
"Appropriate organs of the university will identify university students who participated in the riot and process them in accordance with the university regulations to stamp out hooliganism," Makubuya said.
The MPs had asked Makubuya to explain what could have caused the strike and what action the ministry had undertaken to prevent future strikes.
Makubuya said the students were requesting Kampala City Council (KCC) and the Ministry of Transport to erect humps and zebra crossings along Bombo and Sir Apollo Kaggwa roads.
He said there was no evidence that the students had exhausted all peaceful avenues of dealing with their grievances before they rioted.
Makubuya said drivers of the vehicles that were involved had been charged in Buganda Road Court while the Ministry of Works was expediting the construction of humps on the roads next to the university.
