Frederick Golooba-Mutebi 5 June 2011 editorial Nairobi — After weeks of media speculation and punditry, during which ministers and aspiring ministers must have suffered acute anxiety over who was going, staying or coming in, President Yoweri Museveni finally named the people who hopefully will help him run the country. The hopes expressed in the previous sentence stem from listening several times over the years to what has become something of a conventional wisdom among sections of Museveni watchers, local and non-local: He does a lot of what ministers are supposed to do for them, and mostly ignores his large army of advisors who, as a result, are technically unemployed much of the time. Indeed, it is said that the reason Uganda has such a large number of ministers, one of the largest in the world, and dozens of presidential advisors, is not because they are all needed for their skills, capacity and experience

The general secretary of NFF, Musa Amadu, revealed that two international friendly games are on the cards for the Super Eagles but cannot confirm them yet.

“Yes two friendly matches are being lined up for the men’s national team. One should come up on August 9 just before the season kicks off in Europe.

“The other one is billed for September 6. But all of these are not confirmed yet since talks are still on. In about a week or more we should get a clearer picture of the teams the Super Eagles will play and the venues for the matches,” said Amadu.
