THE William Tumwine led Uganda Badminton Association executive has been given another four-year term in office and asked to focus on preparing a strong team for the London 2012 Olympics.
After over an hour of arguing over the election procedures, with delegates contesting membership status of many clubs, delegate Goreti Nalubega proposed the entire executive retain their seats because of the good work done in their first term. The proposal got majority support.
The election was delayed by an hour as the returning officer waited for a copy of the constitution to be availed after Andrew Jackson Oryada, who had sought to challenge Tumwine, challenge the day’s procedure.
“We did not need any change. They have performed well and the results are there for all to see,†said Gilbert Ofuyuru, one of the delegates.
Earlier, Tumwine outlined that a first appearance at the Olympic Games and producing Africa’s best ranked player as one of the highlights of his term of office.
His committee has John Baptist Kakooza (vice chairman), Eric Byarugaba (secretary), Janet Kayondo (deputy secretary), David Mayeku (treasurer), Ben Ochan, William Mwandha, Emma Kafuko and Phiona Ssozi (committee members).
