By Silvano Kibuuka MINISTER of state for sports, Henry Oryem Okello is to name a new National Council of Sports body soon. Okello told The New Vision that a new committee would help streamline the running of sports in the country. “Names have been proposed to us and we are looking at them for scrutiny,” he said. The former NCS council was suspended by former Minister of Sport Alfred Omony Ogaba in September 1999 though long serving General Secretary, Abbey Lutaya was left in charge. Assistant secretary to the administrative committee of NCS John Odyek said work is going on well as they await the minister’s new appointments. The former committee was chaired by Geoffrey Kizito and had members including, Aggrey Owori, Rosemary Kobere and Lt. Col. Albert Kareba. ends
