“We are always told that our students these days lack communication skills when they go to workshop places but i want to affirm that these (debaters)  will not be among such”.Prof Elly Katunguka,  Kyambogo’s Vice Chancellor said.

The grand finale was presided over by  Deputy Prime Minister HON. Ali Kirunda Kivejinja.
