KYAMBOGO UNIVERSITY TAKES ACFODE INTER-UNIVERSITY DEBATE CROWN
On Saturday 30th October 2010, after a heated two day inter-university debate organised by ACFODE, Kyambogo University took the crown beating UCU Mukono, Kampala University, UMU Nkozi and Makerere University. The debate competitions, the first of their kind in Uganda, uner the British Parliamentary format, generated interesting discussion and arguments.
Participants sweated it out over the two days at Nob View Hotel and the judges who were from National Debate Council and CRY Uganda had a tough time selecting quarter finalists, semi finalists, finalists and the eventual winners.
It was during the inner dance and award giving ceremony that we finally saw Osipo Benjamin and Mulepo Benjamin of Kyambogo University emerging winners.
Second were Oketcho Eddie and Kasolo Sheila of UCU Mukono who won most eloquent speakers.
Third were Karamagi Andrew and Mugarura Eric of UCU again who put up such a good fight. This Naitonal debae experience was proudly sponsoredby Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) who showed interest in sponsoring it annually.

counting down
As we ount down, the excitement and tempo of the celebrations are rising high. Some empers are flaring as people are clouded with the work and forgetting to look on the bright side of things-only 3 weeks to go, so let us all be cheerful and embrace the Jubilee.
