After giving a key note speech, a verbal exchange between the minister and the students ensued, according to Bernald Luyiga, the LCV councilor, representing Makerere University to Kampala City Council.

The students started the exchange by questioning Otafiire on his alleged land ownership at the expense of the landless. Otafiire denied ownership of land in Buganda Region and the debate continued.
