The Deputy speaker of Parliament, Mr Thomas Tayebwa has advised universities to invest in ground breaking research that find solutions for issues affecting the continent of Africa and Uganda.
Mr Tayebwa said that most researches done in the country are funded by foreigners who are not about helping the country but fronting their own interests.
" That's what will help us to get solutions for Uganda, otherwise most of the research we have in this country is funded by foreigners," Mr Tayebwa said.
He added; "I want us as government, private sector to invest in research that is tailor- made to address issues of Uganda and Africa at large."
Mr Tayebwa was speaking during Victoria University 8th graduation ceremony at Speke Resort Convention centre Munyonyo in Kampala on September 20 where over 1,471 students were graduating in different academic disciplines.
