UTAG Memorandum On Public Universities Bill To Parliament - Prof Raymond Atuguba Writes

Whilst thanking the UTAGs for dealing with what can only be a daunting task, I would like to stress that we have a duty to say, at the very beginning of the Memo, that the entire Bill offends the SPIRIT of the 1992 Constitution, and that many parts of the Bill offend the LETTER of the Constitution. Given that hundreds of amendments are needed to make the Bill constitutionally wholesome; and considering that the 4th Republican Parliament has a long standing tradition of requesting that Bills and Draft Regulations that contain such shortcomings be withdrawn by the relevant Minister, thoroughly re-worked, and re-laid; the position of UTAG must be that Parliament should take this latter course of action, and not proceed further with the Bill.
