We are used to our government. Life moves on. He [Museveni] promises many things but does not fulfil them. We need to go and get our own money, the promise has been here for two years and we need to move on. There are many mafias in the game like Tamale Mirundi always say, and my hope that we will get that pledge is at one, on a scale of 1-10.
The retired attacking midfielder also echoed sentiments made by his former teammate Mike Mutyaba. Mutyaba held a demonstration on Friday at Fufa s offices demanding payment of arrears he claims are outstanding before he was arrested by the police.
Because we had a meeting when we played Egypt, we told president Moses Magogo that we want the money to be paid and in our accounts before we played Senegal. He said no problem, you will get the money . We later called and told him that we needed the money. We knew the federation that if we get to Kampala, that money was not going to be paid. We sat out and decided not to play football with uncomfortable minds. But he branded us, bad players, added the 33-year-old star. We told him [Magogo] that we are not going to play until our money is on our accounts. Not until Thursday, we were playing on Friday when money came in. We went to training at 10:00 pm that very night.
