Why we endorse Patrick Kanyomozi for USPA President

Must read

Sports journalists under their Uganda Sports Press Association (USPA) will hold a general assembly over the weekend and elect new leaders for the term 2018-2020.

Patrick Kanyomozi, a commentator with Kwese TV as well as a sports presenter at KFM, is vying for the post of becoming the USPA President. The two other candidates are USPA vice president Ritah Aliguma and NTV’s Sam Mpoza.

Kanyomozi has been General Secretary for the journalist’s association since 2014 and now seeks higher ground in a bid to replace Sabiiti Muwanga, the outgoing president. He is set to carry on with the positive contribution he has added to the body while secretary during the four years.

He has been doing sports journalism for over ten years. Basically, he knows what every sports journalist goes through and what they needs to be done to improve the situation and working environment.

Kanyomozi will be able to help journalists attain formal training in new media operations, organize educational seminars, increase sponsorship and corporate relations as well as help financially empower sports scribes.

The elections will take place on Saturday 24, November 2018. USPA members will vote for a new President, a General Secretary, Organizing Secretary and a Treasurer.

The elected USPA officials serve two terms of two years in office and are not allowed to contest for the same office thereafter.

USPA was founded 48 years ago by Fred Ssekito. Former presidents include; Mark Namanya, Douglas Mazune and Joseph Kabuleta.

USPA recognizes the best sports personalities per month when they hold their respective monthly conventions. These are followed by the end of year dinner where all the excelling sportsmen and women are rewarded at a glamorous ceremony.
