Uganda Wildlife Authority

{UWA} has procured new

executive boats to ferry

tourists on Lake Mburo Na-

nearby the Lake Mburo Na-

tional Park were entitled to

a free entrance to the park,

according to UWA.

The park open day that

started with a wild run

within the park and attract-

ed many area residents.

The runners did the 5 and

10 kilometers run, from

the Nshara gate along the

Kiruhura- Mbarara highway

to the park main entrance.

Among the runners, was

State Minister for Tourism,

Godfrey Kiwanda Suubi

who graced the heat, to

complete the 10km race.

The day was to allow locals

have a feel of what tran-

spires in the park, including

seeing animals such as ze-

But the main excitement

was when the locals were

ushered into the newly

imported UWA executive

boats.

The boats with a 45 seating

capacity shall be used for

boat cruise along the Lake

Mburo.

Kiwanda said UWA has pur-

chased three boats to serve

the parks with lakes and

rivers such as Lake Mburo

National Park, Queen Eliz-

abeth National Park and

Murchison Falls National

Park.

“Our target is to boost local

tourism and attract reve-

nue. That is why we have

purchased these executive

boats. Similarly, we also re-

-

utive buses to ferry Ugan-

dans interested in visiting

the parks from Kampala to

the various parks,” said Ki-

wanda.

He told the gathering at

Lake Mburo National Park

that the executive buses will

rant and bar as well as state

complete with a GPRs to

show the occupants where

they are and where they are

Kiwanda further said the

open park days will be held

annually in all the 10 na-

tional parks of Queen Eliz-

abeth, Lake Mburo, Kidepo

Valley, Mt. Elgon, Bwindi,

Mgahinga, Kibaale, Semili-

ki, Pian Upe, and Rwenzori

Mountain.

Kiwanda in addition urged

Ugandans to enjoy the beau-

ty of the parks; especially

at this time when there is

peace and security.

He hailed the Federation of

Uganda Tourism Initiative

(FUTI) for organizing the

wild runs. FUTI team lead-

er, Abdul Muhiire said they

have so far held similar wild

runs in Bwindi, Mgahinga

and Kidepo, with a view of

sensitizing the communi-

ties neighboring the parks

to love nature and be part of

the conservation. Muhiire

said they have organized

similar wild runs in all the

parks for the entire one

year.

-

cer, Gesa Simplicious, said

the management would sit

and come up with a national

park open day calendar, to

be followed for all nation-

al parks spread across the

country.

Skilling the girl child a welcome ideaThe launching of Presidential Initiative of skilling the Girl

Child is a welcome idea, which should be supported by

all Ugandans. As future mothers of our Nation, girls play

a pivotal role in the socioeconomic transformation of the

Ugandan society. Empowering girls to be self sustaining

economically will not only improve on their individual

economic status, but the well being of their parents too.

The initiative shall in addition engage girls in meaningful

economic activities, instead of them being employed as

house maids in urban cities.

Thus, skilling the girls’ initiative, which commenced in

Kampala, should be extended to all regions of Uganda.

This will in the long run bear fruitful results, as the proj-

ects will in addition reduce the rural-urban migration

of girls, in search of jobs. Engaging girls to undertake

projects in tailoring, baking, weaving, shoe-making and

hair-dressing is good, as products from these projects

have a ready market from the local communities. In addi-

tion, the projects will empower Ugandans to love and buy

“made in Uganda” products, instead of importing these

products from abroad.

MISSION:To be the most sought after quality Education in the East African Region

By Ambrose Gahene

President Yoweri Musev-

eni last Friday launched

the Presidential initiative

on skilling the Girl Child.

The function took place

in Kampala’s Wandegeya

Market.There are over 700

girl-trainees at the two fa-

cilities in Kampala (Wande-

geya Market and Subway),

where the project is con-

ducted.

“This initiative, which tar-

gets the vulnerable urban

girls aged 16-20 years,

seeks to reduce unemploy-

ment by equipping them

with skills in baking, tailor-

ing, weaving, shoe-making

and hair-dressing”, said the

President.

He added that; Government

will give tools and capital

to all successful trainees,

so that they start up small

businesses which can grow

to employ other people.

“I encourage girls in Kam-

pala to embrace this initia-

tive, attend training and ac-

quire the skills”

“Gradually, we shall roll out

more centres to other divi-

sions so that trainees don’t

incur high transport costs”,

he further added.

President Museveni in ad-

dition said; in the long run,

products made by these

girls; like clothes should

replace the second-hand

garments we import from

places like China.

“We shall also make shoes,

beddings, bags, curtains

and other garments”.

“This initiative is a break-

through for our girls to gain

wealth and also help up-

lift others by creating jobs

when their businesses ex-

pand”, he stressed further.

Uganda’s ranking in the

2017 World Bank’s Ease

of Doing Business has im-

proved by seven places, a

development that shows

that ongoing business en-

vironment reforms being

implemented by the gov-

ernment are starting to

bear fruit.

Uganda now ranks 115th

out of the 190 assessed

economies, which is a step

up by seven places from

the previous year while in

Sub-Saharan Africa, the

country ranks 12th out of

48 economies. Uganda re-

corded improvements in

six of the ten indicators

that the World Bank uses

to assess the economies.

The Doing Business re-

port, which was launched

on Oct. 25 in Washington,

US, recognizes Uganda

among the 29 economies

that implemented reforms

in three or more of the ten

indicators.

The report, released under

the theme, “Equal Oppor-

tunity for All,” is the 14th

in a series of reports pro-

duced by the World Bank,

and it basically investi-

gates the regulations that

enhance business activity

and those that constrain

it. The goal of the Doing

Business series is to pro-

vide objective data for use

by the governments in

designing sound business

regulatory policies.

The ten indicators upon

which economies are

gauged include; starting

a business, dealing with

construction permits, get-

ting electricity, registering

property, getting credit,

protecting minority inves-

tors, paying taxes, trading

across borders, enforcing

contracts and resolving

insolvency.

Uganda made starting a

business easier by elim-

inating the requirement

a declaration of compli-

ance when incorporating

a company, thanks to the

Business Licences (Mis-

cellaneous Repeals) Act,

which entered into force

on July 1, 2015.

Uganda also made paying

taxes easier by eliminat-

ing a requirement for tax

returns to be submitted

in paper copy following

online submission. This

reform also relieved the

administrative burden on

-

rate tax and VAT returns.

Carolyn Ndawula, the

programme manager for

trade and competitiveness

at the World Bank Country

that Uganda’s improve-

ment by seven places was

because of Uganda Reve-

nue Authority (URA) and

the Uganda Registration

Services Bureau (URSB),

which implemented the

reforms.

Moses Kibirige, the head

of the Sector Competitive-

ness Programme at the

World Bank Group Ugan-

that if URA, NSSF, URSB

and KCCA worked closely

together, everything could

be done within a day.

“That would lead to annual

private sector cost saving

in excess of $300m,” he

said.

Dickson Kateshumbwa,

the commissioner for cus-

toms at URA, explained

that they have created a

single point of declaration

and payment assessment

for small and medium

scale enterprises, which

has helped small busi-

nesses that do not have

the expertise or money to

income tax returns. He

also noted that a one-stop

centre for URA, KCCA and

URSB is in the pipeline.

Gideon Badagawa, the

executive director of the

Private Sector Founda-

tion Uganda (PSFU), was

cognizant of the progress

saying for the last four

consecutive years, Uganda

has been improving on its

ranking, moving from 155

in 2014, to 135 (2015); 122

(2016) to 115 in 2017.

I APPLAUD a young Ugan-

dan lady called Eva, whose

second name I do not know

and whose face I have nev-

er seen. All I know is that

she is female, a Ugandan,

and once lived in Beijing

while studying something.

She now lives and works in

Uganda at a location I will

not reveal because I am not

absolutely certain of it and

have not secured her per-

mission to do so – because

I do not have her contact

details.

Because she was a good

Ugandan during her time in

China, she saved me quite

way of happenstance.

I normally go about on my

travels wearing t-shirts

boldly emblazoned with

-

ber of reasons; top on the

list is that this gives me an

opportunity to start up a

conversation about Ugan-

da in which I get to stress

the many good bits of my

country.

It never fails, and during

I enjoyed many opportuni-

ties ranging from the hilar-

ious to the deeply earnest.

There was the morning

I was walking out of the

breakfast room and a New

Zealander pointed at me

and shouted, “Hey! Ugan-

da!”

He had me in a tight em-

brace before I could over-

come my alarm, and stand-

ing together arm over

shoulder he explained his

excitement at seeing my

right across the front.

“I am the Honorary Consul

of Uganda to New Zealand!”

The odds were not high. He

doesn’t spend all his time

in Beijing so the opportuni-

ty to discuss Uganda with

a Ugandan on a random

morning in a country that

was not New Zealand could

not be allowed to go by.

Basil J. Morrison had

many good things to say,

of course, and asked about

a few of his friends back

home. Later in the day,

atop the Great Wall of Chi-

na, I bumped into Basil J.

Morrison again – and with

the same excitement as at

breakfast, he spotted me

easily in the crowd because

-

The one involving Eva,

however, was the most sur-

prisingly pleasant.

On our way back out of the

country we got a one-hour

Uganda ranked second, after Seychelles in visa openness

By Drake Nyamugabwa

The African Development

Bank, in collaboration with

the African Union Commis-

sion and the World Eco-

nomic Forum has launched

the second edition of the

Africa Visa Openness Index,

which measures how open

African countries are when

it comes to visas provision.

This is through looking at

what they ask of citizens

from other African coun-

tries when they travel.

It aims to show at a glance

which countries are facili-

tating travel for citizens of

other countries and how:

whether they allow people

to travel to their country

without a visa; if travelers

can get a visa on arrival

in the country; or wheth-

er visitors need to obtain a

visa before travel. Overall,

Africans were able to trav-

el more freely across the

continent in 2016, as visa

openness levels improved

from 2015. However, many

challenges remained.

The second Africa Visa

Openness Index highlights

-

ences in visa openness

performance. For example,

75 percent of countries in

the top 20 most visa-open

countries are in either East

or West Africa, while 20 per

cent are in Southern Afri-

ca. Only one country in the

top 20 most open to visas

is in North Africa (Maurita-

nia), while no countries in

Central Africa rank in the

top 20. “I need 38 visas to

move around Africa,” says

Aliko Dangote, President

and CEO of Dangote Group.

Seychelles continues to

lead the Index and remains

the only African country

visa-free access for all Af-

ricans. Uganda was second

in the continent followed

by Togo in third position.

Rwanda was ranked 9th,

Somalia at 11th position,

Kenya 15th and Tanzania at

17th position.According to

the report, 40 per cent of

countries in the top 20 most

visa-open countries are in

East Africa; 35 per cent are

in West Africa; 20 per cent

are in Southern Africa and 5

per cent are in North Africa.

Hon. Sam Kutesa last

Tuesday met with Mr.

Brian Galabuzi Kakembo,

a student and founder of

the Waste to Energy Youth

Initiative (WEYI). Mr. Ka-

kembo’s submission was

selected from out of 35

others and he was cho-

sen to sit on the 4-person

“Change Maker’s” Panel at

the International Student

Energy Summit 2017 in

Merida, Mexico.

Hon Kutesa who, as the

69th President of the

United Nations General

Assembly, steered the pro-

cess that saw the adoption

of the Sustainable Devel-

opment Goals, expressed

how, as a country Uganda

is proud of Mr. Kakem-

bo’s achievements and

the work he has done, but

most importantly because

he will be representing

Uganda and indeed Africa,

in Mexico.

Kakembo, who was se-

to the Panel’s selection

committee, a project which

uses bio-waste such as ba-

nana peelings, potato peel-

ings, food market wastes,

mixed with a binder and

compressed into Charcoal

briquettes which are used

substitute for wood fuel.

Brian is implementing a

Universal Strategic Goal.

Kakembo gave a short

re-cap of his journey to

realizing his passion.He

explained that as he car-

ried out personal research

on Africa’s transition to

clean renewable energy;

He added that these

require very heavy in-

vestment which neither

the governments nor

the private sector could

immediately commit funds

to and concluded that the

is Secondary biomass.

He informed Hon Kutesa

that the WEYI project pro-

duces and sells briquettes

to churches and communi-

ties around them with help

from partners like Ndejje

ergy centre, St. Kizito High

School, Namugongo and

Martyrs day is the day the Uganda martyrs were killed. This day is

celebrated on every 3nd of June. They were killed because they had

great faith in their religion which was Christianity. They never

wanted to worship the small gods.

The kabaka of Buganda at the time was known as kabaka Mwanga

2nd, in the beginning he had accepted the teaching of Christianity

but later changed his mind and ordered the subjects who had

changed to Christianity mode of worship that had been introduced

by the whites to change and turn back to the African tradition

religion but because of their faith, they didn’t do the king had

ordered. It frustrated the kabaka and instructed his right hand man

mukajjanga to ensure that he kills them as he sometimes referred to

them as “rebels”.

Some of them who refused were stoned to death for example like

saint Stephen and the biggest number was burnt from Namugongo

on the 3rd of June, however there are those that could not stand the

persecution and converted back to African tradition worship.

include the pilgrimage to the site of the martyrdom at Namugongo.

In 1993, pope john Paul 2nd visited Uganda and honored the Uganda martyrs with his own pilgrimage. This

served as an example to all Christians to honor the martyrs, it’s why every 3rd of June Christians honor the

pilgrimage by

celebrating their

brave act of

accepting to die

FEATURETHE UGANDA MARTYRS

These were a group twenty three Anglicans and twenty two Catholics

who were killed on the orders of the king at a time who was kabaka

Mwanga 2nd from 1885-1887.there faith in religion provoked the

kabaka mistrust ordered them to turn back to the traditional worship.

So we remember the martyr’s day for their strong faith and learn to be

strong during persecution.

MULUNGI MARTHA. PRIMARY SEVEN

Missionaries preached Christianity and some African changed their

western teaching of religion until he started getting suspicious of the

Christian intentions and interpreted it politically. He directed the

cease of Christian preaching and practices but however some of those

who had converted refused to follow the kings directed.

MUHOOZI RONALD PRIMARY SEVEN

A martyr is a person who died for his/her religious faith. After the

death of mutesa 1st, mwanga became the kabaka of Buganda later fell

out with bishop Hannigton and started suspected that the bishop was

against him and his kingdom. The bishop became the martyr in

Uganda. And then also ordered for the killing of other followers who

believed in religion. These included joseph mukasa, andrea kagwa

and many others on the 3rd of June 3, 2017.

CHOKSI SULTANA PRIMARY SEVEN

The Uganda martyrs who were killed on the directive of kabaka

Mwanga are celebrated every 3rd of June, to remember the brave

people who withstood the persecution of kabaka Mwanga because of

their religious faith. People like Kizito male and others who were forty

seven in number. I learn big lessons from the martyrs to be brave,

faithful and enduring which can help us go to heaven.

The Government of Uganda

in partnership with FINASI,

the International Special-

ized Hospital of Uganda – a

project that is expected to

be completed in the next 24

months, according to min-

istry of health sources.

Presiding over the ground

breaking ceremony at

Lubowa, Wakiso district,

the President of the Repub-

lic of Uganda, His Excel-

lency, Yoweri Museveni

noted that: “this facility will

be the key referral centre

for Ugandan patients and

East African region to have

a cyclotron for nuclear

medicine.”

“The establishment of this

hospital will cut costs of

$186m that Ugandans incur

annually to go abroad to

access medical treatment

for complicated cases.” he

said.

Minister of Health, Hon.

Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng noted

the growing burden of Non

Communicable Diseases

which require specialized

services like cardiology,

kidney transplant, and

brain and spine surgery

among many others; which

-

al and national referral

hospitals. “As a result, there

have been massive refer-

rals abroad for specialized

services. As Government,

we lose over $70 million in

referrals abroad. Construc-

tion of ISHU will realize

savings and curtail foreign

exchange drain.” she said.

Dr. Aceng further added

that establishment of a

world class centre of excel-

lence will promote Uganda

internationally as a medical

tourism destination and

increase foreign exchange

The International Special-

ized Hospital of Uganda

will be constructed under

a Public Private Partner-

ship agreement, and the

Government of Uganda will

assume ownership after a

period of eight years.

“The proprietor, FINASI,

will run the facility for a

period of eight years, and

they will be responsible

for the human resources,

treatment of patients and

maintenance of the facility

for this period before the

hospital reverts back to

government,” Dr. Aceng

explained.

She underscored Govern-

health of Ugandans by pro-

viding preventive, curative

and rehabilitative services.

“Today, majority of the

population is within a 2km

reach of a health facility ac-

cording the Hospital survey

report 2015” she said.

Permanent Secretary, Min-

istry of Health, Dr. Diana

Atwine noted that the con-

struction of the facility will

take 24 months and will

attract skilled Ugandans

who are working abroad

back home to contribute to

National Development.

“The facility will also

serve as a training centre

for young doctors and

nurses contributing to a

new chapter of National

Development. Training for

specialists will start in Sep-

tember this year on wards”

Dr. Atwine said.

The 264 bed specialized

hospital will include a

major Accident and Emer-

gency department, Crit-

ical care, Intensive Care,

Paediatric and Neonatal

Intensive Care depart-

ment, Dialysis services,

Chemotherapy, Bone

Marrow transplant, Ob-

stetrics and Gynaecology,

Oncology, Nuclear med-

icine and Brachytherapy

departments, in addition to

General medicine, General

Surgery and Paediatrics

department.Construction

of this facility will enable

Ugandans access quality,

specialized healthcare by

2020 without the need to

travel out of the country.

The Ministry of Health has

received an assortment of

medical equipment from

United Nations Popula-

tion Fund (UNFPA) for

China-Uganda friendship

hospital, Naguru. The sup-

port is primarily intended

to improve the quality of

health care in Maternal

and Child Health, as well

as patient privacy.

China-Uganda friend-

ship hospital was chosen

based on the fact that

there were several chal-

lenges being faced in the

Maternal and Child Health

ward, including the lack of

privacy for mothers, poor

infrastructure, absence of

a waiting area for mothers

attending Antenatal Care

services (ANC), among

others.

During the handover cere-

mony, Minister of State for

Primary Health Care, Hon.

Dr. Joyce Moriku Kaducu

urged the health workers

to ensure that the equip-

ment is put to proper use,

to serve the intended pur-

pose.

Hon. Kaducu emphasized

the importance of Human

Rights Based Approaches

(HRBA) which emphasiz-

es that the services must

be Available, Accessible,

-

able.

“All these must be done

while observing privacy,

and respect of clients”

she added. China-Uganda

friendship hospital is the

pioneer public health fa-

cility to roll out HRBA in

Uganda.

By James Otai

In Uganda, most small scale

farmers practice mixed

crop and livestock farming

where they grow various

types of crops and at the

same time keep livestock

on the same piece of land,

which may not lead to in-

creased yields. Ugandan

farmers could adopt a sim-

ilar technology of mixed

farming practiced by farm-

ers in Brazil called inte-

grated agriculture; where a

piece of land is utilized for

planting forest trees and

the same land is utilized for

growing crops or keeping

animals.

In Brazil, farm land used

for integrated agriculture

of livestock and forestry

system and forestry crop-

ping system is about nine

million hectares. Another

technology which some

farmers in Uganda; espe-

cially those growing banana

are already practicing is the

no till technology aimed

at conservation of the soil

nutrients for increased

yields. No-till farming sys-

tem, which is practiced by a

number of farmers in Brazil

productivity and ecosystem

services including soil con-

servation.

At the same time the tech-

nology enables agriculture

to respond to some of the

global challenges associ-

ated with climate change

which include land and en-

vironmental degradation.

Scientists at Embrampa de-

veloped a package of this

technology where after

grass is cut from the farm,

it is left to rot into organic

matter for a period of about

one month and thereafter

the farmer uses a planter to

dig holes to plant the seeds.

Farmers are able to harvest

increased yields because

they apply fertilizer at the

time of planting.

The planter is used for both

planting seed in one row

and fertilizer in another

row.

It is practiced by large scale

farmers growing soybean,

corn and bush beans and

after harvesting the land

is irrigated for replanting.

Sometimes farmers use

selective herbicide which

clears the weed minus de-

stroying the crops.

The Director of Embram-

pa, Dr Ladisladous Martin

Neto, explained that before

the 1970s, Brazil did not

have food security until

new technologies were de-

veloped by scientists, in-

cluding the use of modern

biotechnology that led to

boosting agricultural pro-

duction in the country.

The country is now known

as one of the largest pro-

ducers of soybean and corn

in the world.

This is possible because the

scientists are breeding vari-

eties which are resistant to

pests and diseases, drought

resistant and varieties that

soil especially soybean and

breeding high quality ani-

mals.

There has been increasing

momentum in the adop-

By Paul Mwirigi

In the last activity pre-

ceding the Rugby Cranes

Residential Camp, a host

of players showed their

out running Uganda’s

leading PR and communi-

cation professionals.

In the 10th edition of the

Public Relations Associ-

ation of Uganda monthly

team featured as special

guests and they didn’t dis-

appoint.

“The PRAU Run was dif-

ferent this time as we have

hosted individuals in the

past unlike today where

we had the pleasure of

hosting the Uganda Rug-

by Cranes” said Cynthia

Mpanga, PRAU President.

The Uganda Rugby Cranes

bond with our fans ahead

of a hectic schedule.

We ask that you all come

out in thousands on June

hectic playing schedules”

said Emmanuel Baine the

Team Manager for the

Uganda Rugby Cranes.

trick of wins as he crossed

year while Ibenu Sharon

in the ladies’ category.

“We hope the boys have

picked some good luck

-

tempt to reclaim the El-

very best when they step

onto the pitch ” said Paul

Darren Fletcher agrees two-year deal at Stoke

Nsibambi’s Brace inspires KCCA to victory in CAF Confederations Cup

Sports

The former Manchester

an ever-present for the

past two seasons at West

Brom. Albion wanted him

to stay at The Hawthorns

but Fletcher has moved on.

“It’s all happened incredibly

quickly, but I am delighted

to be here,” Fletcher told the

“This is a fantastic Club

with a top manager and a

great group of players and

I am really looking forward

to this opportunity.

“I loved every moment of

my time at West Bromwich

Albion and I loved every

moment of my time with

Manchester United, but

this is a new challenge for

me now, and I like to think

I respond well to new chal-

lenges.” Just two weeks ago

Albion boss Tony Pulis was

convinced Fletcher would

stay at The Hawthorns and

his exit is a huge blow.

Pulis held talks with the

club’s Chinese owners last

week as they plan for next

season and he must now re-

place his captain.

Fletcher made 97 appear-

ances for the club and was

handed the armband within

a week of joining from Man-

chester United in 2015.

“Of course there is a disap-

pointment in seeing Fletch

move on and we wish him

well,” Pulis told West Brom’s

The German playmaker,

whose contract runs out

next year, has been of-

fered a £280,000-a-week

salary to remain at the

Emirates. Ozil was hold-

ing out for £350,000 A

WEEK, but he is prepared

to cut a deal this summer

with the Gunners. The

former Real Madrid star

does not have a serious

club.

And boss Arsene Wenger

is now hopeful Ozil, 28,

who cost £42.5million

from Real Madrid four

years ago, will stay on a

new long-term deal.

Wenger, who this week

signed his own new two-

year deal, is also trying to

tie down strike star Alexis

Sanchez.

Kampala Capital City Au-

thority Football Club (KCCA

FC) staked their claim in

this year’s 2017 Total CAF

Confederations CUP com-

petition by winning against

Nigeria’s Rivers United at

the Philip Omondi Stadium

on Saturday.

KCCA FC went all out for the

attack from the onset and

Mike Mutebi’s lineup that

had all Mike Mutyaba, Al-

lan Okello and Tom Masiko,

Vincent Kayizzi and Isaac

-

frey Serunkuuma and Der-

rick Nsibambi led the line.

The positive display didn’t

15th minute when Isaac

Muleme cut in down the left

to set up youngster Derrick

Nsibambi who powered

home from 15 yards past

Femi Thomas.

Rivers United will have

Femi Thomas to thank for

ensuring KCCA FC didn’t

stretch their lead. On sev-

eral occasions, the custo-

dian thrice kept out Tom

Masiko’s traditional long-

-

ly looked like goals. Just

when it looked like KCCA

FC had bullied the visitors

out of the tie, Rivers United

pounced back through Bo-

laji Sakin on 33 minutes, to

draw the tie level.

After recess, KCCA FC kept

on with positive football

despite the visitors dis-

playing a defensive ap-

proach, youngster Allan

Okello was withdrawn for

Ivan Ntege to increase grit

in the middle.

And just when it looked

like the tie was heading for

a stalemate, Derrick Nsi-

bambi calmly controlled

a Tom Masiko’s delivery

from down the right and

powered home to make it 2

for the shirt 9 striker on 70

minutes.

Minutes after the day’s hero

Nsibambi was withdrawn

in what looked like an in-

jury scare for Paul Mucu-

reezi. 2-1 is how it ended, in

a highly contested tie that

was swung to KCCA FC’s

side from the onset.

KCCA FC are level on points

(six) with group leaders

FUS Rabat, the leader top-

ping Group A with a superi-

Mesut Ozil ready to sign Yaya Toure has extended his

stay with Manchester City.

The Ivorian was out of con-

tract this summer but has

penned a one-year exten-

sion at the Etihad.

Toure arrived at City from

Barcelona in 2010 and has

won six trophies, including

two Premier League titles

with the club.

He was expected to depart

after falling out of favour

last season but bounced

back and ended the cam-

paign as an integral mem-

ber of Pep Guardiola’s side.

“I’m delighted.

I told myself the journey at

City is not done and when

I received a call from Txiki

and talked to the manager I

was very delighted,” Toure

said.

Toure signs one-year contract extension

Yaya will be at City for one more season
