MPs sitting on this committee chaired by Adjumani District Woman MP, Jesca Ababiku, say it’s very a shaming that government pays its civil servants and workers in the government departments for work not done and only wait for media reports to report and take action yet government pays them for to supervise.

MPs say if the media had not reported on the use of Formalin City dwellers would be dying for laziness of the KCCA officers who wait the public and media to report.

The government agencies mandated to supervision include Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), the ministry of health and Agriculture ministries, and also the Uganda National Bureau of Standards (UNBS) which have kept silent over the use of formalin.  

The State minister for Kampala Capital City Authority, Benny Namugwanya, says KCCA is devising means to tighten their supervision to curb on the alleged use of formalin.

She says some meat butchers which were suspected to use formalin have been closed and investigation is ongoing.

Kampala capital city authority has tasked the national drug authority to restrict purchase of certain chemicals on the market.

This is after the authority closed down several butcheries in the city center found using unnamed chemicals that reportedly chase away flies.

Speaking during a council meeting today, the Authority’s acting director public health Dr Daniel Okello said they have established that the impounded chemicals were pesticides which also contaminated the meat.

He argues that such chemicals should not be accessed by everyone since they are harmful to human lives tasking the drug authority to restrict their purchase.

Dr Okello says investigations to establish whether formalin was being used to preserve meat are ongoing

With limited playing time at Lugogo, Okhuti was forced to hand in a transfer request to KCCA manager Mike Mutebi in quest of more games.

Okhuti has been behind Geoffrey Sserunkuuma and Derrick Nsibambi in the pecking order and the imminent arrival of goal machine Robert Ssentongo has propelled Okhuti to reconsider his future.

The Arua born-player joined KCCA  from city rivals Express and helped his team win the  title last season scoring three times.

Okuti cited playing frequently and impressing Uganda Cranes Coach (Micho Sredojevic) for selection as the reason behind the move.

“I want to play regularly so that I impress Uganda Cranes coach (Micho Sredojevic) to consider me for the upcoming national team engagements (Cecafa, Afcon and World Cup qualifiers).

Life had become complex at Lugogo and I got calls from my home team which I couldn’t turn down,” said the former Ediofe Hills and Vipers striker.

KCCA deputy manager Morley Byekwaso said Okhuti failed to thrive at Lugogo due to the persistent injuries and lackluster form.

“He wanted to play whenever he left the surgeon’s table but that wasn’t possible especially with strikers that played well in our preferred formations. He asked to leave and we felt concerned to give him freedom,” Byekwaso revealed.

Onduparaka CEO Anthony Affeti commended the acquisition of Okhuti’s services because of his experience and the respect he has in Arua District in the Northern Region of Uganda.

“He is going to guide our youthful players on how to encounter big games. He is respected here in Arua and will attract us a few more fans.”|

Playing Career

Okhuti started his career at Mvara junior before joining Edioffe hills for two seasons where he scored around 80 goals.

He later transferred to Bunamwaya (now Vipers) until 2011 when he turned semi-professional at Vissai Ninh Bình in the Vietnam league. There, he met fellow compatriot Livingstone Mbabazi, now assistant coach at Onduparaka.

He returned to Vipers in 2012 but later moved to El Nasir in Sudan and then had a short stint at Onduparaka before moving to Express FC and KCCA last season. He scored 8 goals for the Red Eagles and three for the champions.

Melyvn Lorenzen, Werderbremen striker has not yet decided his commitment with Uganda

The 21-year-old will not feature in Africa Cup of Nations qualification match when Botswana will take over Uganda Cranes on Saturday June 4, 2016.

“Decision time [for Lorenzen] will be after the match against Botswana,” Uganda FA communications manager Ahmed Hussein said.

He impressed for Uganda Cranes in a 2-0 defeat friendly match played with Zimbabwe  at Rufaro stadium in Harare on Tuesday.

Lorenzen was born in London and qualifies to play for both Uganda and German through his father and mother respectively.

Uganda coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic praised the contribution Lorenzen had made during his time with the squad.

“We shall definitely miss the extra impetus he would have brought to the team as we saw in the friendly match against Zimbabwe,” the coach said.

“So for now we shall concentrate on the able players we have in the team to accomplish our mission.”

The coach will be worried about the fitness of striker Faruku Miya, who plays in Belgium for Standard Liege, after he missed the loss to Zimbabwe with concussion.

KCC came into the game with a draw enough if title challengers Vipers SC could not get maximum points against Uganda Revenue Authority at Buikwe stadium.

The Yellow brigade fans were in full capacity at the Mutessa II stadium chanting from the first to the last whistle cheering up their team.

KCC suffered a dent in their hopes of winning the title when they fell behind with Express FC taking a first-half lead through Vincent Kayizzi’s expertly taken penalty.

The pressure was on the visitors to get the equalizer in the second half of the game with a title at stake.

Mutessa II stadium being a fortress of Express, KCC head coach Mike Mutebi was tasked with a huge onus on his shoulders.

It’s rare for big teams to walk away with maximum points on the home ground of Express and KCC had a tough call. The fans of both teams were on tension with the game heating up in the second half.

Luckily for KCC they were able to fight back into the game with their efforts paying off through Muzamiru Mutyaba’s equalizer forcing a one all draw.

KCC head coach Mike Mutebi has won the League for the first time going into the history books.

According to Daily monitor, He is relieved at shaking off the ‘nearly man’ tag. The publications states that he has twice literally walked away from possible honours with KCCA. The first instance was when
Mutebi replaced club legend Phillip Omondi as coach at the then KCC in 1996, where he was joined by Sam Ssimbwa as assistant. But he quit with a handful of games to the end of the 1997 season after disagreements with the club. KCCA legend Tom Lwanga and Ssimbwa carried the team over the line to the title.
The second being when he returned in 2003 as technical director before taking over head coaching reins again, leading KCCA to the 2004 Kakungulu Cup final.

But he quit again on eve of the final over unpaid wages and reported interference from management. Robert Kabuye oversaw the final and won it in Mutebi’s absenture though it’s believed he made the line-up for that game.

“I (always) leave with five matches to go and others come and win the title, so I’m happy that is gone,” said the 46-year-old Uefa diploma A holder from Germany.
“The most pleasing thing is that this is a young team. Most of these boys, it’s their first experience to play for a big team, so to do that, it’s a good thing; and to groom that team and it is winning, it is pleasing.”

Elsewhere, Vipers SC who were the major challengers to KCCA FC for the title drew 1-1 with Uganda Revenue Authority at Buikwe stadium.

The result means, KCCA FC now has 56 points, with a four point advantage over Vipers coming into the final match day on Friday.

According to fufa.com, a guard of hounor by Sadolin Paints FC awaits KCCA FC on Friday at Nakivubostadium when they will be handed the AUPL title.

Samba, SCVU and Maroons were the relegated teams.
