“I haven’t been replaced.What has happened is that they merged two offices namely Communication and International Office. So, they have created a new position of Acting Manager Communications and International Relations,” she explained.

“So, that is our new boss to the staff both in communication and international relations,” she added.

She (Namisango) told this website that both her and Muwanguzi are still in the university service.

“We haven’t been fired.It is a merger of two units,” she said, adding that she retains her designation as Public Relations Officer.
