USL club disowns defiant official

Water FC, a Uganda Super League club has disowned a self styled Club Director, Julius Oyet who was impersonating as an official representative of their club to the USL Board.

Oyet had attended most of the USL Board meetings chaired by banned USL Chairman Kavuma Kabenge and took decisions that the club disowns. He was also part of the meeting at Sheraton Hotel earlier this month that denounced the position of the FUFA Disciplinary Committee against the errant USL officials. The same meeting resolved to boycott all FUFA organized/sanctioned matches including the Bell-Uganda Cup.

In a strongly worded letter to FUFA, Engineer Alex Gisagara the Managing Director of the National Water and Sewage Corporation (NWSC) the owners of Water FC, denied having fronted Oyet as USL Director representing their club. Gisagara is also the designated club chairperson. “He is not the fronted USL Director representing Water FC and we would like to request that the management of FUFA and USL disregard any representations and statements from him” reads part of the letter from the Managing Director.

Oyet had earlier been quoted in both The Monitor and Bukedde News papers alleging that Water FC was purely behind Kabenge and that his team would not take part in the Bell sponsored Uganda cup. The NWSC Managing Director further writes, “This is in response to the statements in the Bukedde Newspaper of January 18th in which one Julius Oyet was quoted speaking on behalf of Water FC and The Monitor of January 9th in which the same Oyet was quoted as a USL Director from Water FC”

The Company Managing Director adds, “This is to categorically inform you that he [Oyet] is not authorized to speak on behalf of Water FC”. Eng. Gisagara promised that his club would in a week’s time forward the name of the authorized Director. To show further compliance, Water FC was one of the eleven USL clubs that attended the FUFA meeting at Royal Imperial Hotel on Monday afternoon. Three of their highly positioned officials attended in person and maintained their documented position.

Other clubs that attended the meeting included URA FC, Bunamwaya, Proline, Bidco, Maroons, Simba, Hoima-Busia, Utoda, Victors and Masaka LC whose chairman who also doubles as Masaka District Local Council V Chairperson Joseph Kalungi attended.
