The Uganda Cricket Associations yesterday afternoon at Kati Kati Restaurant held the elective Annual General Meeting where a new board was elected. The AGM was presided by the outgoing chairman Mr Michael Nuwagaba.
Jackson Kavuma was elected as the new chairman of the Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) following a closely contested election. He won the election with 10 votes to defeat Fred Lutaaya who got six votes.
Kavuma came with a rich cricket background having previously served as UCA’s honorary secretary, will now lead the association for the next two years.
“This is the time to have someone to contest against me and Fred Lutaaya has led to the rise of my blood pressure but I have finally made it,” Kavuma said.
The former Cricket Cranes player and the UCA communications manager, Denis Musali, was elected as the new honorary secretary.
Musali won the elections with eleven votes to defeat Jeremy Kibukamusoke
while Lelia Namaganda Ondeko assumes the role of women’s representative after running unopposed.
“It’s time to put our differences aside and we focus on the development of cricket,” Musali noted.
“Born ready! It’s time to work for a game that I love very much. I am grateful for the support,” he added.
