Addressing the press today, the Cavendish University Vice Chancellor Dr Olive Sabiiti sought to end the speculation.

“It is true, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu is graduating. For us, at Cavendish University, we don't treat him as an opposition leader but as a student because our education offering is accessible to all individuals Ugandan or non-Ugandans. We have 45 different nationalities here,” she said.

Regarding Bobi Wine’s participation, Dr Sabiiti said he was an active student who fulfilled all the course requirements.

I taught him myself

“Like other students, he had to meet all the requirements including class attendance, passing of assessments, exams, internship and research projects,” she said.

“I can testify that he completed all these requirements, otherwise he would not have graduated.

“I taught him myself when I was the dean of the Faculty of Law. He came and attended classes and his friends always took pride in sitting with him because he is also a musician that people love, besides being a political leader," she added

Cavendish University has four faculties namely; Law, Socioeconomic Sciences, Science and Technology and Management as was as the post-graduate programs
