Both teams announced the move on their social media platforms on Wednesday 14th September, 2016 confirming he will be at Greenlight stadium.

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.

Kadaga asks world legislators to embrace Sustainable Development Goals

Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga

The Speaker of Parliament, Rebecca Kadaga has challenged Members of Parliament to embrace the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) following the expiry of the Millennium Development Goals.

“It is our responsibility not only to understand but to be able to appreciate the fundamentals in order to facilitate the implementation of the SDGs.”

Kadaga was addressing the plenary session of the 132nd Inter Parliamentary Union Assembly currently taking place in Hanoi, Viet Nam. The global body is meeting under the theme: “The Sustainable Development Goals: Turning words into action” from 28th of March – 1st April 2015.

The Ugandan Speaker decried the way MDGs were implemented citing that as Parliamentarians, they did not have an opportunity to participate in the discussions, the designs and the final output of the MDGs, and yet they were expected to facilitate their implementation.

Evaluating the performance of Uganda in attaining the MDGs, Kadaga noted that notwithstanding our various successes, the country had faltered in sectors of the economy as well as in the control of maternal and infant mortality

With regard to the tools required to implement the SDGs, Kadaga had some pertinent questions for the assembly; “Is it not time that we moved away from only auditing expenditure but also the other sectors like social, environmental, gender, equity and climate change?”

“We shall need to establish common minimum standards which will require new focus and capacity building,” she added.

Kadaga proposed that the SDG’s be incorporated into the activities of specific parliamentary committees “because the 17 proposed goals are multi-sectoral and multi-dimensional.”

“We should not leave the implementation of the SDGs to chance. We may need to design an action plan within Parliament,” Kadaga said, “We need to introduce into our processes the requirement for an annual report from the government on the status of the SDGs.

Speaker Kadaga said for that to be achieved, there was need for national parliaments to develop targets, norms, benchmarks and indicators to be used to assess the performance of government. She said it would also require continuous capacity building within the parliaments, both for the MPs and the staff so as to stay on course.

Kadaga also endorsed the strategy the IPU had taken to establish an SDG unit, which would assist Parliaments in building not only technical capacity, but a resource of useful information in best practices.

Charting the way forward, the Speaker said that her delegation shall convene a special sitting in Parliament in May 2015 to discuss the 17 proposed goals so that it can inform the final decisions in September 2015.

“In that way we shall begin to turn words into action,” she said.
