NCS boss Wilson Tumwine has told the Council to let Uganda Athletics Federation (UAF) run its affairs because ‘it is the most successful sports body today,’ reports Swalley Kenyi.
Tumwine was responding to National Council of Sports (NCS) secretary Jasper Aligawesa’s refusal to recognise UAF since the body scrapped the word ‘amateur’ and extended term of office to four years last year.
“Whether it is UAF or UAAF the federation has remained the most successful. What we need is to consolidate achievements,†Tumwine said. He said that NCS’ interest was the success of national sports bodies and not to promote pressure groups that breed wrangles.
Aligawesa argues that UAF’s move was to detach itself from NCS, which oversees them.
