Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>As Joshua Cheptegei leads Uganda\u2019s most successful Olympic team\u2014 four medals, including two golds\u2014to meet the President at Kololo Grounds today, everyone is keen to know what Mr Museveni will offer or promise.<\/p>\n

Performing at the Olympics is such an honour and winning a medal is every athlete\u2019s dream. The celebration tells it all. It makes nobodies national heroes.Yet Olympians do not get prize money, as they do in other events such as Diamond League circuits in athletics, soccer or basketball leagues, every year.These honours and medals do not pay bills or buy food even at the cheapest grocery.<\/p>\n

So, Olympians\u2014medallists and representatives\u2014who put in hundreds of hours training to represent their nations at the grandest stage, need money to survive.That\u2019s why some countries adopted a system to financially reward their Olympians.Some countries, according to the New York Times, give stipends, houses, lifetime supplies of beer, free flights or even exemptions from mandatory military service. Some national governing bodies also give rewards \u2014 USA Wrestling gifted Kyle Snyder $250,000 (Shs880m) for his gold at the 2016 Rio Games.)<\/p>\n

For the Tokyo Olympics, a United States medallist receives $37,500 (Shs132m) for gold, $22,500 (Shs79m) for silver and $15,000 (Shs53m), for bronze. The New York Times calls it modest.Of course it is compared to Singapore\u2019s $740,000 (Shs2.7b) but considering that USA goes to the Games with a target of at least 100 medals, the bonus budget is enormous.<\/p>\n

Not defined<\/b><\/p>\n

But, in Uganda, the reward to Olympic medalists and excelling athletes is not defined. It basically depends on President Museveni.When long distance runner Moses Kipsiro won two gold medals in the 10,000 and 5,000m at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, President Museveni offered him a brand new Toyota Hilux Double Cabin pick-up.<\/p>\n

Two years later, marathoner Stephen Kiprotich received more than Shs200m and a Mitsubishi Pajero for his victories at the London 2012 Olympics and later the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, Russia.In 2014, Joshua Cheptegei would thank the President as he cruised away in a Mitsubishi Gallant, for his 10,000m victory at the World Junior Championships in Oregon, USA. Five years later, President Museveni would add Mitsubishi Double Cabin pick-up to Cheptegei rewards for his conquest at the 2019 World Championships in Doha, Qatar, where he won 10,000m gold.<\/p>\n

Prior to this, Dorcus Inzikuru received a house in her home town of Arua, and was promised a car for her gold medals at the 2005 World Championship and the 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games.Just recently, former Cranes captain Denis Onyango cruised away in a fabulous Pajero Sport as the President\u2019s gift on his retirement from national duty.<\/p>\n

Left to right: 5,000m Olympic gold medallist and 10,000m Silver medallist Joshua Cheptegei, national athletics coach Benjamin Njia, 10,000m Olympic bronze medallist Jacob Kiplimo and 3,000m steeplechase gold medallist Peruth Chemutai show off their medals.<\/p>\n

Uganda Cranes<\/b><\/p>\n

Onyango and fellow Cranes had already picked $10,000 (Shs35m) each for finally taking Uganda to the African Nations Cup, after 39 years.At one point, President Museveni directed that every athlete who wins gold, silver or bronze or an equivalent at the international level should earn Shs5m, Shs3m and Shs1m respectively, every month.<\/p>\n

But that reward scheme was largely flawed as potential beneficiaries could receive money about once in seven months. Others waited in vain, until the head-of-state attempted to revise the scheme in 2020.As Cheptegei leads Uganda\u2019s most successful Olympic team\u2014 four medals, including two golds\u2014to meet the President at Kololo Grounds today, everyone is keen to know what Museveni will offer or promise.<\/p>\n

NCS attempt<\/b><\/p>\n

After the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia the National Council of Sports (NCS) through the Ministry of Education demonstrated what they deemed a better rewarding scheme. Cheptegei pocketed Shs50m for his 5,000 and 10,000m double gold, at the Games, Stella Chesang got Shs20m for winning the 10,000m race.Solomon Mutai, who won silver in the marathon, got Shs15m while Mercyline Chelangat and Juma Miiro got Shs7.5m each for bronze in the 10,000m and boxing respectively.<\/p>\n

Para-athlete David Emong got Shs30m for his gold at the 2017 World Para Athletics Championships in London and Shs20m for his silver medal, Uganda\u2019s first, at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games.Last month, Dr Bernard Patrick Ogwel, the NCS general secretary, promised a reward for those who would excel in Tokyo. But he did not mention particulars.\u201cThere\u2019s a financial reward but we don\u2019t want people to think it\u2019s about money,\u201d he told Daily Monitor on phone from Tokyo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be able to reveal after. I can promise you that we have put money aside. It\u2019s in the bank only waiting for withdrawal when the Games are done,\u201d he assured, adding that the rewards will also benefit those who will triumph at the Paralympic Games, also in Tokyo starting August 24.<\/p>\n

Pending promises<\/b><\/p>\n

At every opportunity, Inzikuru reminds government to \u201chelp me secure the land title of the house they built for me.\u201dShe is also waiting for the car the President promised her 16 years ago.She is not alone. Many athletes complain about the inconsistences in the monthly stipend scheme and on several occasions, State House aides have told the media and the potential beneficiaries that \u201cit is a gift not an entitlement and it depends on the availability of the resources.\u201dState Minister for Sport Hamson Obua, who led Uganda\u2019s delegation to Tokyo, admitted that a reliable rewarding scheme for athletes is urgent and can trigger better performance.<\/p>\n

But the pending gifts are just part of the long list of Museveni\u2019s undelivered promises to sport.In the 2016 to 2021 manifesto, the NRM promised, among others, to: develop and institute a policy of affirmative action for athletes; bursaries and scholarships for elite athletes; a national rewards scheme for excelling national athletes; a pension scheme for nationally acclaimed sports persons and incentives for private sector investment in sports. None of these have been fulfilled.<\/p>\n

Training centre<\/b><\/p>\n

The High Altitude training Centre in Teryet, Kapchorwa District, was Museveni\u2019s response to Kipsiro\u2019s achievements at Delhi 2010. It was the first thing Kiprotich reminded the President when he was hosted to a luncheon at State House after ending Uganda\u2019s four-decade wait for Olympic gold in the aftermath of the London 2012 Games. However, 11 years have passed before the first phase of the facility expected to solve most of national athletes\u2019 training issues, is complete.<\/p>\n

Sports minister Obua agreed it is long overdue. Amid the delays, Cheptegei used his resources to acquire land and establish the Joshua Cheptegei Training Centre, about 10km from Teryet. It is complete.Beyond personal gifts, shall the new Olympic champion beg the President to order that Teryet is finally ready for use?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
