]]> MUKMakerere university administration has revoked the policy on payment of 60% of fees by the 6 week of semester and has instead introduced a commitment fee of 200,000 shillings which every student  will be required to pay with in the first two weeks of a semester to qualify for registration, if approved by the stakeholders committee that was
set up by the prime minister to review the fees policy.

The new draft policy was announced last week by the deputy vice chancellor of the university in charge of finance and administration Barnabas Nawangwe during news conference that was held at the university hall.

The new draft fees policy has three windows of payment including window one, were students will only be registered upon completion of payment of approved functional and tuition fees by the end of the 6th week of the semester.

The second mode of payment, students will be required to pay all functional and tuition fees as well as a late fees payment charge equivalent to 5% of all fees for the semester by the end of the 12th week of the semester. And the last payment mode is for the students who pay their school fees who will apply to the vice chancellor to pay under a monthly payment plan.

The Uganda Non Communicable Disease Alliance (UNCDA) a local NGO and umbrella body for organizations that advocate for non communicable diseases is urging government to expeditiously have in place a policy on non communicable diseases to help facilitate smooth handling of these killer diseases and also give a better life to Ugandans who are always attacked by the non communicable diseases.
Addressing a stakeholders meeting today in Kampala, the chairperson, board of directors, UNCDA, Mwambu Tom reveals that the absence of this policy has left non communicable diseases in the shadow of other diseases and are given less attention by government and the general public yet they impact on the economy as many potential citizens are suffering and many have lost their lives.
According to the 2014 NCD risk survey, statistics indicate that one in four adults (25%) were found to have high blood pressure which is the leading cause of heart attack and strokes with 80% of these cases did not know their health status. WHO projects that soon NCDs will be the great contributors to death in developing countries, Uganda in particular, from the current 25% to 42% an equivalent of 28 million deaths per year and now NCDs are responsible for 27% of death in Uganda every year.
