nearby the Lake Mburo Na-
tional Park were entitled to
a free entrance to the park,
according to UWA.
The park open day that
started with a wild run
within the park and attract-
ed many area residents.
The runners did the 5 and
10 kilometers run, from
the Nshara gate along the
Kiruhura- Mbarara highway
to the park main entrance.
Among the runners, was
State Minister for Tourism,
Godfrey Kiwanda Suubi
who graced the heat, to
complete the 10km race.
The day was to allow locals
have a feel of what tran-
spires in the park, including
seeing animals such as ze-
But the main excitement
was when the locals were
ushered into the newly
imported UWA executive
boats.
The boats with a 45 seating
capacity shall be used for
boat cruise along the Lake
Mburo.
Kiwanda said UWA has pur-
chased three boats to serve
the parks with lakes and
rivers such as Lake Mburo
National Park, Queen Eliz-
abeth National Park and
Murchison Falls National
Park.
“Our target is to boost local
tourism and attract reve-
nue. That is why we have
purchased these executive
boats. Similarly, we also re-
-
utive buses to ferry Ugan-
dans interested in visiting
the parks from Kampala to
the various parks,” said Ki-
wanda.
He told the gathering at
Lake Mburo National Park
that the executive buses will

rant and bar as well as state

complete with a GPRs to
show the occupants where
they are and where they are

Kiwanda further said the
open park days will be held
annually in all the 10 na-
tional parks of Queen Eliz-
abeth, Lake Mburo, Kidepo
Valley, Mt. Elgon, Bwindi,
Mgahinga, Kibaale, Semili-
ki, Pian Upe, and Rwenzori
Mountain.
Kiwanda in addition urged
Ugandans to enjoy the beau-
ty of the parks; especially
at this time when there is
peace and security.
He hailed the Federation of
Uganda Tourism Initiative
(FUTI) for organizing the
wild runs. FUTI team lead-
er, Abdul Muhiire said they
have so far held similar wild
runs in Bwindi, Mgahinga
and Kidepo, with a view of
sensitizing the communi-
ties neighboring the parks
to love nature and be part of
the conservation. Muhiire
said they have organized
similar wild runs in all the
parks for the entire one
year.

cer, Gesa Simplicious, said
the management would sit
and come up with a national
park open day calendar, to
be followed for all nation-
al parks spread across the
country.

Skilling the girl child a welcome ideaThe launching of Presidential Initiative of skilling the Girl
Child is a welcome idea, which should be supported by
all Ugandans. As future mothers of our Nation, girls play
a pivotal role in the socioeconomic transformation of the
Ugandan society. Empowering girls to be self sustaining
economically will not only improve on their individual
economic status, but the well being of their parents too.
The initiative shall in addition engage girls in meaningful
economic activities, instead of them being employed as
house maids in urban cities.
Thus, skilling the girls’ initiative, which commenced in
Kampala, should be extended to all regions of Uganda.
This will in the long run bear fruitful results, as the proj-
ects will in addition reduce the rural-urban migration
of girls, in search of jobs. Engaging girls to undertake
projects in tailoring, baking, weaving, shoe-making and
hair-dressing is good, as products from these projects
have a ready market from the local communities. In addi-
tion, the projects will empower Ugandans to love and buy
“made in Uganda” products, instead of importing these
products from abroad.

MISSION:To be the most sought after quality Education in the East African Region
By Ambrose Gahene
President Yoweri Musev-
eni last Friday launched
the Presidential initiative
on skilling the Girl Child.
The function took place
in Kampala’s Wandegeya
Market.There are over 700
girl-trainees at the two fa-
cilities in Kampala (Wande-
geya Market and Subway),
where the project is con-
ducted.
“This initiative, which tar-
gets the vulnerable urban
girls aged 16-20 years,
seeks to reduce unemploy-
ment by equipping them
with skills in baking, tailor-
ing, weaving, shoe-making
and hair-dressing”, said the
President.
He added that; Government
will give tools and capital
to all successful trainees,
so that they start up small
businesses which can grow
to employ other people.
“I encourage girls in Kam-
pala to embrace this initia-
tive, attend training and ac-
quire the skills”
“Gradually, we shall roll out
more centres to other divi-
sions so that trainees don’t
incur high transport costs”,
he further added.
President Museveni in ad-
dition said; in the long run,
products made by these
girls; like clothes should
replace the second-hand
garments we import from
places like China.
“We shall also make shoes,
beddings, bags, curtains
and other garments”.
“This initiative is a break-
through for our girls to gain
wealth and also help up-
lift others by creating jobs
when their businesses ex-
pand”, he stressed further.

Uganda’s ranking in the
2017 World Bank’s Ease
of Doing Business has im-
proved by seven places, a
development that shows
that ongoing business en-
vironment reforms being
implemented by the gov-
ernment are starting to
bear fruit.
Uganda now ranks 115th
out of the 190 assessed
economies, which is a step
up by seven places from
the previous year while in
Sub-Saharan Africa, the
country ranks 12th out of
48 economies. Uganda re-
corded improvements in
six of the ten indicators
that the World Bank uses
to assess the economies.
The Doing Business re-
port, which was launched
on Oct. 25 in Washington,
US, recognizes Uganda
among the 29 economies
that implemented reforms
in three or more of the ten
indicators.
The report, released under
the theme, “Equal Oppor-
tunity for All,” is the 14th
in a series of reports pro-
duced by the World Bank,
and it basically investi-
gates the regulations that
enhance business activity
and those that constrain
it. The goal of the Doing
Business series is to pro-
vide objective data for use
by the governments in
designing sound business
regulatory policies.
The ten indicators upon
which economies are
gauged include; starting
a business, dealing with
construction permits, get-
ting electricity, registering
property, getting credit,
protecting minority inves-
tors, paying taxes, trading
across borders, enforcing
contracts and resolving
insolvency.
Uganda made starting a
business easier by elim-
inating the requirement
a declaration of compli-
ance when incorporating
a company, thanks to the
Business Licences (Mis-
cellaneous Repeals) Act,
which entered into force
on July 1, 2015.
Uganda also made paying
taxes easier by eliminat-
ing a requirement for tax
returns to be submitted
in paper copy following
online submission. This
reform also relieved the
administrative burden on
-
rate tax and VAT returns.
Carolyn Ndawula, the
programme manager for
trade and competitiveness
at the World Bank Country
that Uganda’s improve-
ment by seven places was
because of Uganda Reve-
nue Authority (URA) and
the Uganda Registration
Services Bureau (URSB),
which implemented the
reforms.
Moses Kibirige, the head
of the Sector Competitive-
ness Programme at the
World Bank Group Ugan-
that if URA, NSSF, URSB
and KCCA worked closely
together, everything could
be done within a day.
“That would lead to annual
private sector cost saving
in excess of $300m,” he
said.
Dickson Kateshumbwa,
the commissioner for cus-
toms at URA, explained
that they have created a
single point of declaration
and payment assessment
for small and medium
scale enterprises, which
has helped small busi-
nesses that do not have
the expertise or money to
income tax returns. He
also noted that a one-stop
centre for URA, KCCA and
URSB is in the pipeline.
Gideon Badagawa, the
executive director of the
Private Sector Founda-
tion Uganda (PSFU), was
cognizant of the progress
saying for the last four
consecutive years, Uganda
has been improving on its
ranking, moving from 155
in 2014, to 135 (2015); 122
(2016) to 115 in 2017.

I APPLAUD a young Ugan-
dan lady called Eva, whose
second name I do not know
and whose face I have nev-
er seen. All I know is that
she is female, a Ugandan,
and once lived in Beijing
while studying something.
She now lives and works in
Uganda at a location I will
not reveal because I am not
absolutely certain of it and
have not secured her per-
mission to do so – because
I do not have her contact
details.
Because she was a good
Ugandan during her time in
China, she saved me quite
way of happenstance.
I normally go about on my
travels wearing t-shirts
boldly emblazoned with
-
ber of reasons; top on the
list is that this gives me an
opportunity to start up a
conversation about Ugan-
da in which I get to stress
the many good bits of my
country.
It never fails, and during
I enjoyed many opportuni-
ties ranging from the hilar-
ious to the deeply earnest.
There was the morning
I was walking out of the
breakfast room and a New
Zealander pointed at me
and shouted, “Hey! Ugan-
da!”
He had me in a tight em-
brace before I could over-
come my alarm, and stand-
ing together arm over
shoulder he explained his
excitement at seeing my
right across the front.
“I am the Honorary Consul
of Uganda to New Zealand!”
The odds were not high. He
doesn’t spend all his time
in Beijing so the opportuni-
ty to discuss Uganda with
a Ugandan on a random
morning in a country that
was not New Zealand could
not be allowed to go by.
Basil J. Morrison had
many good things to say,
of course, and asked about
a few of his friends back
home. Later in the day,
atop the Great Wall of Chi-
na, I bumped into Basil J.
Morrison again – and with
the same excitement as at
breakfast, he spotted me
easily in the crowd because
-
The one involving Eva,
however, was the most sur-
prisingly pleasant.
On our way back out of the
country we got a one-hour
events to swing by a shop-
ping plaza. Just one hour,
mind, and nothing more –
including the time it took
to disembark, get a meal,
dislodge from the group
attendants all saying, “I

went to the food court and
placed an order with the
fellow there.
After taking my order, he

dently: “Uganda!”
I was surprised. Some min-

fellow had pointed at the
“Ethiopia?” I shook my
head and told him, “No. Try
again?”
And he went, “Ummmm…”
so I said, “Read this!” point-

made him actually read
it properly (vehemence

found myself in a farcical
conversation in which a

formed him that all Asians
looked the same, and so
on and so forth till he suc-

Uganda ranked second, after Seychelles in visa openness
By Drake Nyamugabwa
The African Development
Bank, in collaboration with
the African Union Commis-
sion and the World Eco-
nomic Forum has launched
the second edition of the
Africa Visa Openness Index,
which measures how open
African countries are when
it comes to visas provision.
This is through looking at
what they ask of citizens
from other African coun-
tries when they travel.
It aims to show at a glance
which countries are facili-
tating travel for citizens of
other countries and how:
whether they allow people
to travel to their country
without a visa; if travelers
can get a visa on arrival
in the country; or wheth-
er visitors need to obtain a
visa before travel. Overall,
Africans were able to trav-
el more freely across the
continent in 2016, as visa
openness levels improved
from 2015. However, many
challenges remained.
The second Africa Visa
Openness Index highlights
-
ences in visa openness
performance. For example,
75 percent of countries in
the top 20 most visa-open
countries are in either East
or West Africa, while 20 per
cent are in Southern Afri-
ca. Only one country in the
top 20 most open to visas
is in North Africa (Maurita-
nia), while no countries in
Central Africa rank in the
top 20. “I need 38 visas to
move around Africa,” says
Aliko Dangote, President
and CEO of Dangote Group.
Seychelles continues to
lead the Index and remains
the only African country
visa-free access for all Af-
ricans. Uganda was second
in the continent followed
by Togo in third position.
Rwanda was ranked 9th,
Somalia at 11th position,
Kenya 15th and Tanzania at
17th position.According to
the report, 40 per cent of
countries in the top 20 most
visa-open countries are in
East Africa; 35 per cent are
in West Africa; 20 per cent
are in Southern Africa and 5
per cent are in North Africa.

Hon. Sam Kutesa last
Tuesday met with Mr.
Brian Galabuzi Kakembo,
a student and founder of
the Waste to Energy Youth
Initiative (WEYI). Mr. Ka-
kembo’s submission was
selected from out of 35
others and he was cho-
sen to sit on the 4-person
“Change Maker’s” Panel at
the International Student
Energy Summit 2017 in
Merida, Mexico.
Hon Kutesa who, as the
69th President of the
United Nations General
Assembly, steered the pro-
cess that saw the adoption
of the Sustainable Devel-
opment Goals, expressed
how, as a country Uganda
is proud of Mr. Kakem-
bo’s achievements and
the work he has done, but
most importantly because
he will be representing
Uganda and indeed Africa,
in Mexico.
Kakembo, who was se-
lected for his contribution
Clean Energy, submitted
to the Panel’s selection
committee, a project which
uses bio-waste such as ba-
nana peelings, potato peel-
ings, food market wastes,
mixed with a binder and
compressed into Charcoal
briquettes which are used
substitute for wood fuel.
Brian is implementing a
Universal Strategic Goal.
Kakembo gave a short
re-cap of his journey to
realizing his passion.He
explained that as he car-
ried out personal research
on Africa’s transition to
clean renewable energy;
the achievements, obsta-
-
for Africa, he realized that
in Africa’s current eco-
nomic state, it could not
clean renewable energy
using Solar, Hydro power,
Wind, Vibration, nuclear or
geo-thermo.
He added that these
require very heavy in-
vestment which neither
the governments nor
the private sector could
immediately commit funds
to and concluded that the
is Secondary biomass.
He informed Hon Kutesa
that the WEYI project pro-
duces and sells briquettes
to churches and communi-
ties around them with help
from partners like Ndejje
University renewable en-
ergy centre, St. Kizito High
School, Namugongo and
the Ministry of Energy.
They also conduct train-
ings to impart such skills
into the community youth
who later participate in
the distribution of the
briquettes. All this is aimed
at promoting African youth

Martyrs day is the day the Uganda martyrs were killed. This day is
celebrated on every 3nd of June. They were killed because they had
great faith in their religion which was Christianity. They never
wanted to worship the small gods.
The kabaka of Buganda at the time was known as kabaka Mwanga
2nd, in the beginning he had accepted the teaching of Christianity
but later changed his mind and ordered the subjects who had
changed to Christianity mode of worship that had been introduced
by the whites to change and turn back to the African tradition
religion but because of their faith, they didn’t do the king had
ordered. It frustrated the kabaka and instructed his right hand man
mukajjanga to ensure that he kills them as he sometimes referred to
them as “rebels”.
Some of them who refused were stoned to death for example like
saint Stephen and the biggest number was burnt from Namugongo
on the 3rd of June, however there are those that could not stand the
persecution and converted back to African tradition worship.
pope to visit the sub-Sahara when he visited Uganda. A visit which
include the pilgrimage to the site of the martyrdom at Namugongo.
In 1993, pope john Paul 2nd visited Uganda and honored the Uganda martyrs with his own pilgrimage. This
served as an example to all Christians to honor the martyrs, it’s why every 3rd of June Christians honor the
pilgrimage by
celebrating their
brave act of
accepting to die
for their God.

FEATURETHE UGANDA MARTYRS
These were a group twenty three Anglicans and twenty two Catholics
who were killed on the orders of the king at a time who was kabaka
Mwanga 2nd from 1885-1887.there faith in religion provoked the
kabaka mistrust ordered them to turn back to the traditional worship.
So we remember the martyr’s day for their strong faith and learn to be
strong during persecution.
MULUNGI MARTHA. PRIMARY SEVEN
Missionaries preached Christianity and some African changed their
western teaching of religion until he started getting suspicious of the
Christian intentions and interpreted it politically. He directed the
cease of Christian preaching and practices but however some of those
who had converted refused to follow the kings directed.
MUHOOZI RONALD PRIMARY SEVEN
A martyr is a person who died for his/her religious faith. After the
death of mutesa 1st, mwanga became the kabaka of Buganda later fell
out with bishop Hannigton and started suspected that the bishop was
against him and his kingdom. The bishop became the martyr in
Uganda. And then also ordered for the killing of other followers who
believed in religion. These included joseph mukasa, andrea kagwa
and many others on the 3rd of June 3, 2017.
CHOKSI SULTANA PRIMARY SEVEN
The Uganda martyrs who were killed on the directive of kabaka
Mwanga are celebrated every 3rd of June, to remember the brave
people who withstood the persecution of kabaka Mwanga because of
their religious faith. People like Kizito male and others who were forty
seven in number. I learn big lessons from the martyrs to be brave,
faithful and enduring which can help us go to heaven.

The Government of Uganda
in partnership with FINASI,
the International Special-
ized Hospital of Uganda – a
project that is expected to
be completed in the next 24
months, according to min-
istry of health sources.
Presiding over the ground
breaking ceremony at
Lubowa, Wakiso district,
the President of the Repub-
lic of Uganda, His Excel-
lency, Yoweri Museveni
noted that: “this facility will
be the key referral centre
for Ugandan patients and
East African region to have
a cyclotron for nuclear
medicine.”
“The establishment of this
hospital will cut costs of
$186m that Ugandans incur
annually to go abroad to
access medical treatment
for complicated cases.” he
said.
Minister of Health, Hon.
Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng noted
the growing burden of Non
Communicable Diseases
which require specialized
services like cardiology,
kidney transplant, and
brain and spine surgery
among many others; which
-
al and national referral
hospitals. “As a result, there
have been massive refer-
rals abroad for specialized
services. As Government,
we lose over $70 million in
referrals abroad. Construc-
tion of ISHU will realize
savings and curtail foreign
exchange drain.” she said.
Dr. Aceng further added
that establishment of a
world class centre of excel-
lence will promote Uganda
internationally as a medical
tourism destination and
increase foreign exchange
The International Special-
ized Hospital of Uganda
will be constructed under
a Public Private Partner-
ship agreement, and the
Government of Uganda will
assume ownership after a
period of eight years.
“The proprietor, FINASI,
will run the facility for a
period of eight years, and
they will be responsible
for the human resources,
treatment of patients and
maintenance of the facility
for this period before the
hospital reverts back to
government,” Dr. Aceng
explained.
She underscored Govern-
health of Ugandans by pro-
viding preventive, curative
and rehabilitative services.
“Today, majority of the
population is within a 2km
reach of a health facility ac-
cording the Hospital survey
report 2015” she said.
Permanent Secretary, Min-
istry of Health, Dr. Diana
Atwine noted that the con-
struction of the facility will
take 24 months and will
attract skilled Ugandans
who are working abroad
back home to contribute to
National Development.
“The facility will also
serve as a training centre
for young doctors and
nurses contributing to a
new chapter of National
Development. Training for
specialists will start in Sep-
tember this year on wards”
Dr. Atwine said.
The 264 bed specialized
hospital will include a
major Accident and Emer-
gency department, Crit-
ical care, Intensive Care,
Paediatric and Neonatal
Intensive Care depart-
ment, Dialysis services,
Chemotherapy, Bone
Marrow transplant, Ob-
stetrics and Gynaecology,
Oncology, Nuclear med-
icine and Brachytherapy
departments, in addition to
General medicine, General
Surgery and Paediatrics
department.Construction
of this facility will enable
Ugandans access quality,
specialized healthcare by
2020 without the need to
travel out of the country.

The Ministry of Health has
received an assortment of
medical equipment from
United Nations Popula-
tion Fund (UNFPA) for
China-Uganda friendship
hospital, Naguru. The sup-
port is primarily intended
to improve the quality of
health care in Maternal
and Child Health, as well
as patient privacy.
China-Uganda friend-
ship hospital was chosen
based on the fact that
there were several chal-
lenges being faced in the
Maternal and Child Health
ward, including the lack of
privacy for mothers, poor
infrastructure, absence of
a waiting area for mothers
attending Antenatal Care
services (ANC), among
others.
During the handover cere-
mony, Minister of State for
Primary Health Care, Hon.
Dr. Joyce Moriku Kaducu
urged the health workers
to ensure that the equip-
ment is put to proper use,
to serve the intended pur-
pose.
Hon. Kaducu emphasized
the importance of Human
Rights Based Approaches
(HRBA) which emphasiz-
es that the services must
be Available, Accessible,
-
able.
“All these must be done
while observing privacy,
and respect of clients”
she added. China-Uganda
friendship hospital is the
pioneer public health fa-
cility to roll out HRBA in
Uganda.

In Uganda, most small scale
farmers practice mixed
crop and livestock farming
where they grow various
types of crops and at the
same time keep livestock
on the same piece of land,
which may not lead to in-
creased yields. Ugandan
farmers could adopt a sim-
ilar technology of mixed
farming practiced by farm-
ers in Brazil called inte-
grated agriculture; where a
piece of land is utilized for
planting forest trees and
the same land is utilized for
growing crops or keeping
animals.
In Brazil, farm land used
for integrated agriculture
of livestock and forestry
system and forestry crop-
ping system is about nine
million hectares. Another
technology which some
farmers in Uganda; espe-
cially those growing banana
are already practicing is the
no till technology aimed
at conservation of the soil
nutrients for increased
yields. No-till farming sys-
tem, which is practiced by a
number of farmers in Brazil
productivity and ecosystem
services including soil con-
servation.
At the same time the tech-
nology enables agriculture
to respond to some of the
global challenges associ-
ated with climate change
which include land and en-
vironmental degradation.
Scientists at Embrampa de-
veloped a package of this
technology where after
grass is cut from the farm,
it is left to rot into organic
matter for a period of about
one month and thereafter
the farmer uses a planter to
dig holes to plant the seeds.
Farmers are able to harvest
increased yields because
they apply fertilizer at the
time of planting.
The planter is used for both
planting seed in one row
and fertilizer in another
row.
It is practiced by large scale
farmers growing soybean,
corn and bush beans and
after harvesting the land
is irrigated for replanting.
Sometimes farmers use
selective herbicide which
clears the weed minus de-
stroying the crops.
The Director of Embram-
pa, Dr Ladisladous Martin
Neto, explained that before
the 1970s, Brazil did not
have food security until
new technologies were de-
veloped by scientists, in-
cluding the use of modern
biotechnology that led to
boosting agricultural pro-
duction in the country.
The country is now known
as one of the largest pro-
ducers of soybean and corn
in the world.
This is possible because the
scientists are breeding vari-
eties which are resistant to
pests and diseases, drought
resistant and varieties that
soil especially soybean and
breeding high quality ani-
mals.

gether with its commercial
partner, Takaful Insurance
of Africa (TIA), the IBLI
project of the Internation-

company that excels in the
use of technology to launch
a breakthrough product/
service or a new and inno-
vative distribution channel

applicants from across Af-
rica and was ranked top
out of 5 nominees. The
panel of judges considered
several criteria, including:
Innovative insurance prod-
ucts accessible to a large
clientele, innovative val-
ue proposition to pressing
or neglected community
risks, innovative response
to emerging risks, break-
through in technological
choices and innovative
ways of communicating
with clients.

sioned by failed rains in
Kenya’s 2016 short rains
season. To date, this insur-
ance company has insured
more than 12,000 livestock

the speaker of Uganda’s na-
tional parliament, the Hon-
orable Rebecca Kadaga,
reiterated the company’s
commitment to continuous
-
fective ways to spread IBLI

sustainable commercial
viability for this novel live-
stock insurance product,
which is now protecting

There has been increasing
momentum in the adop-

product by various part-

By Paul Mwirigi
In the last activity pre-
ceding the Rugby Cranes
Residential Camp, a host
of players showed their
out running Uganda’s
leading PR and communi-
cation professionals.
In the 10th edition of the
Public Relations Associ-
ation of Uganda monthly
run the rugby national
team featured as special
guests and they didn’t dis-
appoint.
“The PRAU Run was dif-
ferent this time as we have
hosted individuals in the
past unlike today where
we had the pleasure of
hosting the Uganda Rug-
by Cranes” said Cynthia
Mpanga, PRAU President.
The Uganda Rugby Cranes
will face the Kenya Sim-
Elgon Cup in Kampala on
June 10 while the return
leg, which will also double
up as a Rugby Africa Gold

two weeks later in Nairobi.
The Uganda Rugby Cranes
Namibia, Zimbabwe and

ticket to the 2019 World
Cup in Japan.“We’re opti-
mistic of our chances in
the coming games and this
PRAU run has helped us
bond with our fans ahead
of a hectic schedule.
We ask that you all come
out in thousands on June
hectic playing schedules”
said Emmanuel Baine the
Team Manager for the
Uganda Rugby Cranes.
During the run Douglas
Mazune completed a hat-
trick of wins as he crossed
-
tion for the third time this
year while Ibenu Sharon
in the ladies’ category.
“We hope the boys have
picked some good luck
-
tempt to reclaim the El-
gon Cup in June against
Kenya – we wish them the
very best when they step
onto the pitch ” said Paul
Mwirigi, Director of PR for
PRAU.The PRAU run was

Darren Fletcher agrees two-year deal at Stoke
Nsibambi’s Brace inspires KCCA to victory in CAF Confederations Cup
Sports
The former Manchester
an ever-present for the
past two seasons at West
Brom. Albion wanted him
to stay at The Hawthorns
but Fletcher has moved on.
“It’s all happened incredibly
quickly, but I am delighted
to be here,” Fletcher told the
“This is a fantastic Club
with a top manager and a
great group of players and
I am really looking forward
to this opportunity.
“I loved every moment of
my time at West Bromwich
Albion and I loved every
moment of my time with
Manchester United, but
this is a new challenge for
me now, and I like to think
I respond well to new chal-
lenges.” Just two weeks ago
Albion boss Tony Pulis was
convinced Fletcher would
stay at The Hawthorns and
his exit is a huge blow.
Pulis held talks with the
club’s Chinese owners last
week as they plan for next
season and he must now re-
place his captain.
Fletcher made 97 appear-
ances for the club and was
handed the armband within
a week of joining from Man-
chester United in 2015.
“Of course there is a disap-
pointment in seeing Fletch
move on and we wish him
well,” Pulis told West Brom’s
The German playmaker,
whose contract runs out
next year, has been of-
fered a £280,000-a-week
salary to remain at the
Emirates. Ozil was hold-
ing out for £350,000 A
WEEK, but he is prepared
to cut a deal this summer
with the Gunners. The
former Real Madrid star
does not have a serious
club.
And boss Arsene Wenger
is now hopeful Ozil, 28,
who cost £42.5million
from Real Madrid four
years ago, will stay on a
new long-term deal.
Wenger, who this week
signed his own new two-
year deal, is also trying to
tie down strike star Alexis
Sanchez.
Kampala Capital City Au-
thority Football Club (KCCA
FC) staked their claim in
this year’s 2017 Total CAF
Confederations CUP com-
petition by winning against
Nigeria’s Rivers United at
the Philip Omondi Stadium
on Saturday.
KCCA FC went all out for the
attack from the onset and
Mike Mutebi’s lineup that
had all Mike Mutyaba, Al-
lan Okello and Tom Masiko,
Vincent Kayizzi and Isaac
-
frey Serunkuuma and Der-
rick Nsibambi led the line.
The positive display didn’t
15th minute when Isaac
Muleme cut in down the left
to set up youngster Derrick
Nsibambi who powered
home from 15 yards past
Femi Thomas.
Rivers United will have
Femi Thomas to thank for
ensuring KCCA FC didn’t
stretch their lead. On sev-
eral occasions, the custo-
dian thrice kept out Tom
Masiko’s traditional long-
-
ly looked like goals. Just
when it looked like KCCA
FC had bullied the visitors
out of the tie, Rivers United
pounced back through Bo-
laji Sakin on 33 minutes, to
draw the tie level.
After recess, KCCA FC kept
on with positive football
despite the visitors dis-
playing a defensive ap-
proach, youngster Allan
Okello was withdrawn for
Ivan Ntege to increase grit
in the middle.
And just when it looked
like the tie was heading for
a stalemate, Derrick Nsi-
bambi calmly controlled
a Tom Masiko’s delivery
from down the right and
powered home to make it 2
for the shirt 9 striker on 70
minutes.
Minutes after the day’s hero
Nsibambi was withdrawn
in what looked like an in-
jury scare for Paul Mucu-
reezi. 2-1 is how it ended, in
a highly contested tie that
was swung to KCCA FC’s
side from the onset.
KCCA FC are level on points
(six) with group leaders
FUS Rabat, the leader top-
ping Group A with a superi-
Mesut Ozil ready to sign Yaya Toure has extended his
stay with Manchester City.
The Ivorian was out of con-
tract this summer but has
penned a one-year exten-
sion at the Etihad.
Toure arrived at City from
Barcelona in 2010 and has
won six trophies, including
two Premier League titles
with the club.
He was expected to depart
after falling out of favour
last season but bounced
back and ended the cam-
paign as an integral mem-
ber of Pep Guardiola’s side.
“I’m delighted.
I told myself the journey at
City is not done and when
I received a call from Txiki
and talked to the manager I
was very delighted,” Toure
said.
Toure signs one-year contract extension
Yaya will be at City for one more season
