Newly sworn in mayor Erias Lukwago has lauded Kampala Capital City Authority FC for winning the 2015-16 Azam Uganda Premier League crown.
Speaking as part of his closing remarks after swearing in, Lukwago also promised that his office will help the team reach greater heights in terms of achievement.
“As I conclude, I would like to congratulate our gallant KCC FC (KCCA FC) boys upon clinching the premier league trophy,” Lukwago said.
“As a patron and lifetime supporter of KCC FC, I totally support to the club and all our teams in various sports discipline.”
Lukwago also expressed his wish to see the club replicating the success in the continental games.
KCCA Director Madam Jennifer Musisi was declared the patron officially and oversees all the activities of the club even though the Kampala mayor still refers to himself as “the club patron”. KCCA FC chairman wasn’t available on phone to clarify the matter by press time.
Lukwago was last active in the team in the 2013-14 season when the club won the tenth title and has since had a turbulent era that saw most of his allies like former councillor Allan Ssewanyana pushed out and a new board and management appointed.
