After embarking on his third term in office, Uganda Athletics Federation (UAF) President, Dominic Otuchet has set his agenda for the next four years in office clear.
In the next four years in office, I will front capacity building among other things.
I want to have as many coaches trained as possible.
The great athletes are made by good coaches who spend the best time with them in training sessions.
Otuchet will steer the Uganda Athletics Federation (UAF) for the third consecutive term in office until December 2022.
The Amuria district delegate was elected unopposed last Saturday at the Uganda Olympic Committee (UOC) head offices in Kampala.
He takes on another 4 year tenure since 2010 when he took over from Daniel Tamwesigire.
Consolidating Achievements:
Otuchet believes this fresh in office will also be used to consolidate on what has been achieved over the years, and in the same vein, correcting what had failed.
It is time to consolidate what has been achieved and at the same time to perfect what went amess in the previous term
Eight three (83) out of the 90 expected delegates attended the assembly whose elections were presided over by city lawyer, Kenneth Kitakiro, also the Chief Executive Officer of Africa Alliance.
This elective assembly was also attended by the Assistant General Secretary, National Council of Sports (NCS) as well as the president of Uganda Swimming Federation and official of Uganda Olympic Committee, Dr. Don Rukare.
