FORMER state minister for sports Henry Okello Oryem has said that government would do anything to stop reigning FUFA president Denis Obua from being re-elected in the February 5 general elections.
Available information indicates that Okello had drafted a letter banning FUFA and it was due to be forwarded to President Museveni.
He looked at the ban of the FUFA executive as the best approach to clean the game of football by getting rid of the current executive led by FUFA president Denis Obua.
“We (with NCS) had already drafted the letter but now I am thinking of the next step. I was supposed to meet them (FUFA) in the morning but I was fed up of the wrangles. I saw this as the time of action,†said Okello.
Asked what step he was to take after the news of the reshuffle filtered in, Okello said that he was to hold talks with the incoming minister and see the way forward.
He told fans who urged him to ‘do something about football’ that Obua was not coming back.
“But government will do everything to see that there is sanity. We are going to punish them. We shall fall on them like a block of bricks,†said Oryem earlier on at Lugogo.
