Dr. Stella Nyanzi in her good times.

Dr. Stella Nyanzi, the controversial former Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR) staff has been summoned to appear before the appointments board of the university this Friday to clear some issues before her fate is known.

Nyanzi, who was suspended in April this year following her nude protest at the institute, has previously said she is no longer part of MISR. Nyanzi accused her boss, Prof Mahmood Mamdani of lawlessness and dictatorship, claims that were later found baseless by the investigations committee.

However, while releasing the findings of the investigations that were also made public under the PHD program on Tuesday, the chairperson of the appointments board Bruce Kabaasa said that the committee was not able to make concluding recommendations  pertaining   Stella Nyanzi ‘s job   but will have to interface with her again before they make a final conclusion.

“We have written to her to appear before the committee and defend herself before we can finally decide on whether she should remain a staff member of MISR,” Kabasa said.

Nyanzi a few weeks ago told friends on her widely read Facebook page that she had gotten a better job in South Africa in the same field would earn her an average of Uganda shillings 17 million. It’s not yet clear whether she is out of the Country.

The appointments board had been mandated to carry out in-depth investigations into the standoff at Makerere institute of social research and to review the management of the PhD program and research at MISR.

Among the recommendations of the committee was that all researchers at Makerere institute of social research are required to participate in the PHD program.
