THE FUFA delegates elected last December will form the extraordinary assembly that will pass the new constitution the Dr. James Sekajugo team are currently writing.
Sekajugo confirmed that despite the disbandment of the FUFA executive led by Denis Obua, the delegates who were supposed to have voted at the FUFA polls in February are still recognised.
According to the road map issued by FIFA, the committee is supposed to send the first draft of the statutes to the world body by June 15 for amendments and then a month later, the new constitution should have been approved.
The extraordinary assembly is supposed to convene by August 31.
On conflict of interest in case the statutes do not favour the current delegates, Sekajugo said he would stress good management.
“We are trying to come up with a long-lasting constitution, good for football. No selfish interest will deter the process,†Sekajugo emphasised.
* Three England international footballers met more than 3,000 Malawian youths on Monday urging them to step up the fight against HIV/AIDS, a pandemic that kills 10 people every hour in the southern African state.
“I am glad to be here and encourage Malawian youths in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Abstain, if you can’t use a condom,†Gary Neville told cheering pupils from surrounding schools in the capital’s main stadium.
“Football is a fantastic vehicle to change things like HIV/AIDS,†the English FA executive director David Davies said.
Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand, Neville and Manchester City’s goalkeeper David James are in the country on an HIV/AIDS awareness campaign sponsored by the British Department for International Development (DFID).
