It has sensationally emerged that Moses Magogo is fuming after he was ignored by the powers be when dispatching players’ handsome winning package from State House.
Magogo addressed a news conference at FUFA headquarters on Wednesday visibly sounding let down.
It emerged last night team captain, Denis Onyango was entrusted with the duty to take care of the players’ handsome package from State House.
Onyango, Farouk Miya, Hassan Wasswa and FUFA officials led by Moses Magogo and Kiyingi Nakiwala met President Yoweri Museveni on Monday.
President Museveni, however, reportedly met the players separately and promised to reward their sweat after qualifying for Cameroon 2019 with a game left to play.
It is reported the players have had their concerns about remuneration after the entire campaign.
FUFA and the players have been silently at war with empty promises.
The players’ grievances are reported to have found their way into State House.
The President and Minister of Education and Sports Janet Museveni are reported to have been angered by the unfortunate state of the stars.
After the President’s meeting with Onyango, Miya and Hassan Wasswa, FUFA who were expectant returned to Mengo empty handed.
State House then channeled monies through the team captain to ensure every player who had a hand in the campaign gets a hefty sum to take home.
Senior players and those who were involved in the entire campaign are reported to have smiled all the way to the bank with over Shs160M. Those who had bit roles walked away with not less then Shs50M.
The technical bench is reported to have been handed over Shs120M.
