The Inspector General of Government, Irene Mulyagonja Kakooza has directed the National Council of Sports (NCS) to suspend the operation of the contract they have with Pastor Elvis Mbony’s ZOE Fellowship Ministries for the use of Lugogo Cricket Oval.

There has been a public outcry and also by the Uganda Cricket Association (UCA) after the NCS awarded Mbonye’s Ministries a five year contract (worth over Uganda Shillings 200million) to use the Cricket Oval every Tuesday.

In a letter dated June 5th and copied to the First lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Janet Kataaha Museveni and the State Minister for Sports, Charles Bakkabulindi, the IGG said there will also be a systematic review of operations and management of NCS.

The IGG’s office noted that they received a complaint against NCS that they were operating in a manner characterised by high-handedness and general mismanagement of the affairs of the Council.

She also said her office will commence on a systematic review of the processes and procedures of NCS on various other matters that have been brought to her attention.
