Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The Speaker of Parliament Ms Anita Among on Thursday ordered the Minister of State for Sports, Peter Ogwang to apologise to the country, on the floor of Parliament for letting Uganda Cranes play in Egypt instead of playing at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell us the reason why we should not hold you people accountable for a nugatory expenditure of paying money to play a game in Egypt. That is a nugatory expenditure which money you should have used to play from here. You should have invested that money to have a game here to finish whatever is here. Can you apologize to this country?\u201d Ms Among said during plenary sitting Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

In response, Mr Ogwang said, \u201cMadam Speaker, I thank you for those good questions. To begin with, I did regret on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Sports as to why we found ourselves in Egypt. Madam Speaker, on behalf of the Ministry of Education and Sports, I apologize to the country for having made Uganda Cranes go and play in Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uganda Cranes on March 25 lost to Tanzania by a goal to nil in their third game of the 2023 Africa cup of nation\u2019s qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Fufa chose to take Uganda Cranes 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania to Egypt after falling short of options.<\/p>\n

The federation had hoped to use the St. Mary\u2019s stadium in Kitende but the stadium failed the strict Caf test following an inspection in December last year.<\/p>\n

Uganda\u2019s Mandela National Stadium, Namboole currently under renovation and the Uganda People\u2019s Defence Forces (UPDF) engineering brigade which is conducting the works said it will be ready in June this year.<\/p>\n
