The Ugandan government has rejected world soccer's governing body FIFA's proposal to re-organize the Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA).
The rejection was made at a meeting attended by minister and three deputy ministers of the Ministry of Education and Sports on Thursday.
"We don't accept the way forward as proposed by FIFA," an official from the ministry was quoted by Friday's local press as saying.
The official said that the FIFA's normalization process in Uganda will only proceed with the input of all stakeholders including government, adding that Uganda's position was accordingly presented to the FIFA.
Last week, FIFA proposed to set up a committee charged with bring back stability to Ugandan football in a fax to FUFA. FIFA also recommended that Patrick Isiagi, the former FUFA treasurer, be appointed secretary of the interim committee.
According to local media reports, the appointment of former FUFA officials has rejected by Ugandan government.
The Ugandan government in February suspended former FUFA president Denis Obua and his executive, accusing them of mismanaging football. Obua was sent to Luzira Prison last week after he appeared in court following an arrest warrant issued by a local court.
