Uganda’s President Gen Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni recently told striking secondary school arts teachers that he was committed to ensuring that the gap between the monthly salary of a science teacher and that of humanities teacher is closed.
A trusted ally of opposition leader Dr Kizza Besigye has alleged that President Yoweri Kaguta Tibuhaburwa Museveni hates arts and its teachers, and is not willing to increase their salaries.
