Kotido, Uganda – East Africa.

The President of the Catholic Lawyers Society International (CLASI), Counsel Twinobusingye Severino and the Bishop of Kotido Catholic Diocese, The Rt. Rev. Dominic Eibu MCCJ have signed important contracts of engagement pertaining to the establishment of the upcoming Karamoja Peace And Technology University in Kotido District, Karamoja Sub-region, Northern Uganda – East Africa.

The event took place on the morning of May 16 in the Bishop’s office in Kotido, where Bishop Eibu and Counsel Twinobusingye signed on behalf of Kotido Catholic Diocese and the CLASI respectively.

The Karamoja Peace And Technology University is a project that was conceived by CLASI as part of the initial project activities to be implemented across Uganda in the next three years starting from April 29, 2023.

The university which falls under the Vatican Dicastery for Culture and Education is an important project for Kotido Catholic Diocese and the rest of the region due to its massive potential for transforming the Karamoja Sub-region which has been ignored and under developed for over 146 years.

This initiative was further reinforced by the appointment of His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President of the Republic of Uganda as the Founding Chancellor of the university during the launch of CLASI Activities at St. Augustine Institute-Nsambya on April 29, 2023 in Kampala.
