I have read Ofwono Opondo's article, Makerere let's return to the basics, in the New Vision of November 20, and Mukwanason Hyuha's A reaction to Prof. Mamdani's Makerere (New vision, November 24, 2016). Both disagree with Mamdani' assertion that external financial forces, particularly led by the World Bank, adversely impacted on Makerere's funding and share part of the blame for the predicamnt of what Makerere is in today.
