Fufa Ltd president Moses Magogo in his May 28 response to the IGG said among other things that he does not have the powers to surrender the required assets. “I don’t have the mandate to individually respond to the several requests as made without the mandate and authorization of the association membership as per the requirements of the Fufa constitution,” Magogo said.
As such, this has been viewed by IGG’s office as disobedience by Magogo who is illegally clinging onto Fufa properties.
In today’s Fufa weekly press briefing (Wednesday morning), Fufa evaded the question an indication they won’t comply with the IGG’s orders.
Now Magogo has up to 5pm today to surrender several original Fufa titles, including the Fufa House land title, to the Inspector General of Government (IGG) or be arrested and prosecuted for disobedience of lawful orders.
Sources from IGG’s office indicate anonymously that “we are waiting until 5pm today (Wednesday) and if Mr Magogo does not surrender the wanted original titles, we shall pick it up from there…”
Magogo has been waited at the IGG’s office to surrender the properties as demanded by the inspectorate office in vain.
“We have been waiting for him since Monday and didn’t see anything received from Mr Magogo in response to our latest communication to him…” the source reveals.
The IGG has the powers under the Inspectorate of Government Act, section 35 (a) and or Section 35 (c) to arrest and prosecute any individual who disobeys its lawful orders.
When contacted yesterday, Fufa spokesperson Ahmed Hussein simply said the Fufa legal team is handling the matter.
Deputy IGG George Bamugemereire, who is directly handling the case, in his May 29 letter, warned Mr Magogo that there will be no other reminder to him.
The request for the original Fufa documents is intended to help the IGG in thorough investigations about the mismanagement of Fufa assets, the national association for football in Uganda, by an illegal entity called Fufa Ltd, whose president is Moses Magogo.
