VETERAN navigator Frank Nekusa has decided to be frank, revealing that the constitutional crisis in motorsport is a result of fear that officials in MOSAC will dominate the sport’s governing body FMU.
“People don’t want to say the truth but the problem is MOSAC,†Nekusa, FMU founder member told The New Vision yesterday.
Nekusa blamed Federation of Motorsport Clubs of Uganda (FMU) president Jack Wavamunno for the impasse as well.
“Jack is not disassociating himself from MOSAC, he still wants to only work with MOSAC people like Corrine Hafner even when people don’t want them. There are many other capable people around.â€
“Other clubs fear that MOSAC wants to run the show. If people have refused MOSAC to take all the major positions they should pick another team that is not from MOSAC,†Nekusa said.
The FMU general assembly has aborted twice.
He said, those claiming that the former motorsport governing body AAU was behind the current disagreements were diverting from the real issues agreed on June 15.
“AAU is not involved at all, there is just too much democracy in FMU that people don’t know what to do with it,†he added
“People from other clubs smile when they are talking with MOSAC and later come to me complaining about MOSAC. I hate beating about the bush, that is the truth.â€
Fraternity Motor Club president Andy Kigozi said his club had together with other clubs agreed to share out power, and agree which officials would vie for certain positions in FMU.
Kigozi insists the FMU boss has ignored many of the issues they agreed on at a meeting of all club presidents on June 15.
“It was a shock to some members when we finally got copies of the president’s letter to NCS on the issues to be discussed on AGM day. A number of important issues had been omitted and despite reminders, nothing was done to rectify the abnormality,†Kigozi said.
They also agreed on creating an electoral college.
