Africa Lacrosse Magazine. : Political leaders and sports development.

For the record,when the #PMofUg Rt Hon Amama Mbabazi visited the Uganda lacrosse camp at NCS Lugogo in Kampala for aflag off ceremony,the game become the talk of the Nation for over two weeks consecutively.

The Uganda Cranes Lacrosse team was heading to Denver Colorado for a world championships with so much special attention from across the globe it being the only African nation to ever bless the games that has existed since man kind.

This builds personalities and on my view its a win win situation since all parties involved are seemed for national duty and pride and their love for what is loved by most it build a face upon the bigger boys for mixing and getting closer to the counterparts.

Do we sportsmen continue to work with political leaders for mileage,what will be your judgement,that the game has been politicized or the Nation has continued to build on its manifesto by supporting the youth involved in sports.

After addressing the team,the PM built on his athletic instinct took the lacrosse stick and ball and applauded the nation mostly the younger population to embrace sports because it provides a plat form or an interface with a bigger percentage of people since sports are so appealing to people.

I exploited a chance of having a level ground and much love sports to get closer to the PM of Uganda who shares the name #Patrick with my long gone dear Father Nuwagira Patrick Tumuramye,this is the best and ahigh light moment in my leadership after when i led the mighty Banyankole Students Association of MUBS Makerere University to win the highly contested Cultural Gala beating over 23 other cultural groups including Baganda,Acholi,Teso and Bakiga that took part.
