The opposition Democratic Party, DP has pledged a 500,000 Shillings reward for every goal scored by the Uganda Cranes in the entire Afcon tournament.
Dressed in a Uganda Cranes Jersey, in a bid to show his support like other Ugandans, Kenneth Paul Kakande the DP spokesperson explained that the party continues to support the National team and believes that the capacity of Uganda Cranes is indisputable.
“Accordingly, we pledge 500,000 Shillings for each and every goal that will be scored by the team in this tournament.
The party however castigated government for what they termed as ‘incompetence’ over failure to facilitate Uganda’s broadcaster UBC to broadcast the matches live, despite this being the first time after 39 years that Uganda is qualifying for Afcon.
“It however is disturbing and a glaring sign of government incompetence that the time when the country has returned to the Afcon, tournament is the when the National broadcaster, UBC has failed to relay the tournament to Ugandans” Kakande said.
