Federation of Uganda Football Associations (FUFA) has on Wednesday revealed names of the new members that have been appointed on the judicial bodies.
FUFA CEO, Edgar Watson announced the names to members of the media during the weekly press briefing held at FUFA House in Mengo, Kampala.
He indicated that the committees set up arose from a decision at the 94th General Assembly held on 20th October 2018 at White Horse Inn in Kabale District after the term of the previous bodies had expired.
‘As you are aware, the 94th FUFA General assembly passed a resolution to put the new judicial bodies in place. So the FUFA Executive committee went ahead to appoint members on the various committees’ said Watson.
The FUFA Investigatory chamber is headed by Ms. Nuru Mohammed a lawyer by profession and deputised by Luis Tumwesigye who is also a lawyer. The members on this committee include; Christopher Mugisha, Gilbert Nyaika and Yusuf Kaggwa.
The other committee is the FUFA Ethics body which is an adjudicatory chamber with Darius Ruta and Hudson Katumba as chairperson and vice chairperson respectively. John Bosco Masiko, Kasim Nsimbe and Kenneth Nkumiro are the members on the committee.
The FUFA Disciplinary committee that is entrusted with powers to handle cases of misconduct arising from FUFA Members is headed by Hussein Hilal deputised by James Muwawu. The members include Dirisa Kasalairwe, Margaret Kubingi and Hamidu Kasinde.
The Federation has also set up a new body; FUFA Dispute resolution chamber that will handle cases to do with players’ contracts. It will be headed by Peter Emojong and deputised by ex-international and current assistant coach of Wakiso Giants, Andrew Lule.
Dan Obote a former Uganda Cranes player is also member of the committee plus Norbert Kazibwe and Harriet Nattabi.
The FUFA Appeals committee which is the supreme judicial body of FUFA is the other committee. This will deal with cases arising from the other judicial committees where anyone is not contented and seeks redress.
The committtee will be headed by Diana Nabuuso to be deputised by Musa Kabega. The two are lawyers by profession. Hussein Lwembawo Kyagulanyi, Livingstone Lajani and Sabiiti Muwanga (Former USPA President) are members on the committee.
The Ag. FUFA President, Justus Mugisha who also attended the press conference together with the 2nd Vice President Darius Mugoye believes the people appointed will execute their duties well. Eng. Moses Magogo is way on official duties.
‘FUFA believes the people appointed on the different judicial bodies will execute their roles well. If you realise, every committee is headed by a person with legal background because their work is to do with rules and regulations’ stated Mugisha
The tenure for the above committees will be for two years running from 2018-2020.
