MPEKA Muhumuza has been axed as Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) Chief Executive just three months into his tenure following a failure to meet “expectations.â€
Muhumuza received a letter informing him of the UCA executive’s decision to terminate his one-year contract on Wednesday.
The local sport governing body is already on the search for a successor.
The former Makerere University lecturer, who took office on August 1, would make “no comment†when contacted for a reaction.
Nevertheless, Muhumuza’s dismissal will go down as some kind of false start because the maiden UCA CEO was not able to make it past the three-month probation period.
The CEO office was set up this year following a recommendation of the world cricket governing body ICC.
Memorably, Muhumuza was carefully selected from a list of 24 applicants so it is a mystery how he has been found incapable of “taking Uganda cricket to the next levelâ€.
“To put it simply, said UCA Publicist Latimar Mukasa, “the expectations have not been met and to put it safely, they have not been met on both sides.â€
UCA chairman Dr. Kato Sebbaale and administrative officer Martin Ondeko will fill in as the search for the next CEO unfolds.
