Faces to revive embattled guild.

   Following the chaos that led to the collapse of the guild government late last year, other ambitious leaders have started soliciting for support to resurrect the embattled guild of Lufunya Derick in the coming guild elections set for next month. Philimon Badagawa talked to some students who think they can put Nkumba University guild politics right.

   Kalema Ronald is hopeful that he can take the guild to the next step. A strong member of the Nkobazambogo who also served in the defunct Lufunya government as the education minister is a second year student pursuing a bachelors of business education, majoring in economics and entrepreneurship.
   Kalema boasts of the huge experience in politics having served in various leadership positions right from primary level.
   He also thinks his involvement in external politics has given him impetus to vie strongly for this post. He is vying for councillorship in his parish something he says will help him convince students so easily. He says improving sanitary standards including construction of a toilet at the guild and other parts of the university are key factors..
   He hopes to put up a guild internet café that will help students carry out research and course works at a relatively fair price. His greatest challenge however, is his association with the members of the Lufunya government which delivered almost nothing and students are yet to forget all this total mess some of whom apportion the blame on Nkobazambogo which Kalema subscribes to, for ill advising the president.
   Kayihura Safiri Felix believes that he is born a politician though he has been seen losing at various political positions. The 22 year old Kayihura is also coming for the top guild job. He thinks that what the former presidents from the Law school have failed to achieve can be realised through his governance.
    Paul Mugisa,former Mp for SBA in the embattled guild government that did not live to their expectations is ready to battle it out this time as guild president. With a lot of courage and support from the school of business administration, Paul is confident that the students will trust him with their votes.
   Others who have expressed interest in the post include Zephaniah Hiba ligana 23(PAM), who calls himself the man of the people and Catherine Khalayi has not yet confirmed but it is rumored she might make a comeback.
