As the National Council of Sports continues to review the applications of different applicants vying to be licensed as National Sports Governing Organisations for different Sports disciplines.
On Wednesday, March 18, a team led by Laker Leslie Okot, the National Council of Sports Licensing Officer, visited Badminton Uganda Offices in Nsambya.
Following extensive discussions that aimed to help the association come up with standards to comply with the 2023 National Sports Act, Okot briefed the public through the media, “As we continue our visits to offices of organisations that applied to become registered sports organisations, we extend our listening ear to understand challenges in the issues of compliance.
Today we are at Badminton Uganda and have had successful deliberations through extensive discussions on different compliance obligations. As we approach July, NCS, we would like Badminton Uganda to emerge among the successful licensed associations. We thank the team for administering different compliance obligations under the law.”
The team was seen by Badminton Uganda, led by its Chief Executive Officer Simon Mugabi, who assured that the association would meet the compliance obligations.
“It is a pleasure to have NCS at our offices on the issues of complying with the new Sports Act. They have guided us on some things we have already done but not in the right way, and they are looking at the sport to be in all districts or half of it, that is 73, a programme we started last year, and we are moving towards compliance, and by the end of the financial calendar, it will be fulfilled.”
