Section 2.2.2(K) of the Makerere University Human Resources Manual 2009 (as amended) provides for "short-term contractual appointments authorized by Vice Chancellor in writing for formal appointment by the Director Human Resources. Each Appointment shall not exceed (1) year."
Pursuant to Section 50(3) of the Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act, 2001 (as amended), the Appointments Board will therefore be required to ratify all University Staff appointments made under Section 2.2.2(K) of the Makerere Human Resources Manual 2009 above.
