“Am really excited to have another family member in name of Kagwirawo, they have come at a time where we need them the most, we have been lacking funding, we have expressed a drought due to negativity that has been running around in media and other channels but to put that aside, we are grateful that even amidst all this, there are still people who have trust in us,” Mr Ntale said.
“As marketing, we bring in money, then the federation decides what to use it for but of course, the players are the main objective, so they have to take their portion, money come in the game because of them, money come because of the people working for the federation, money comes in because of good leadership, so all those have to share the cake,” Ntale added.
