Ssekatawa Ali’s Resignation Over Match-Fixing An Indictment To FUFA

FUFA has overtime failed to address a certain vice of match-fixing despite individuals advising the football body to tackle the matter. This has caused a number of eminent people like Ssekatawa Ali and institutions to leave the game.

Ssekatawa Ali’s recent resignation as the Nyamityobora FC patron is just the latest. The individuals that have worked with him say a few people match Ssekatawa in integrity as well as patience.

The management at Nyamityobora FC regularly met with him to forge the best way forward for the team. This is despite FUFA’s full force to fail them.

Through that experience, they lost many points in the boardroom. However, matters were not helped on the pitch where many dubious calls were witnessed.

Ssekatawa had enough of that drama after witnessing Kyetume rout Nyamityobora 9-1 in a game that had all ingredients of a fix. Instead, FUFA saw nothing suspicious and does not even plan to investigate it.

Back in 2019, talks on an infestation of match-fixing had begun to pop up and some expected FUFA to open an investigation.

However, the FUFA Ethics committee summoned those in charge who fueled these talks for breaching competition rules. It became a publicity stunt to bury their heads in the sand because they knew the vice was rife.

Recently, senior police commander Asan Kasingye pointed out that match-fixing is killing Ugandan football.

One wonders how an AIGP can only talk about it on social media without having the power to invoke state authorities to act.
