Musonye stands down as Cecafa Secretary-General after 20-year reign

The administrator promises to remain for a while longer to oversee a smooth transition to the new office-bearers

Long-serving Council of East and Central African Football Associations (Cecafa) General-Secretary Nicholas Musonye has stepped down from his position.

Musonye has been serving the body for the last 20 years and he made the announcement during the Cecafa Annual Congress in Uganda, but admitted he will remain to oversee the transition of office responsibilities to the new members.

“I will remain for some time to ensure a smooth transition. But you know I told you my time here is almost up after 20-years but I am happy with the achievements we have managed during my tenure,” Musonye told reporters.
