He wrote, “This university student died in her bed due to hunger. Many others are on the verge. Hunger, malnutrition, skipping meals, abdominal ulcers, and even death. 95% of @Makerere students go without meals because they can’t afford them. We are facing a silent humanitarian crisis at @kyambogou, @Makerere, and other universities in Uganda.”

The post has sparked widespread concern, with many individuals taking to the comments section to express their thoughts and share similar observations.

@RiseUpAcholi: “Death of these children needs to be investigated. Hunger cannot kill a university student with a parent or guardian. Even those on government scholarship have got homes where they come from. We must understand what’s killing these children without blaming hunger.”

@SuunaKing_James: “Unfortunately you spend most of your time fighting homosexuals when serious people are busy fighting to have a govt that works for everyone. May her soul rest in peace.”
