The current Uganda rowing federation executive has come under attack by members over what they called maladministration.

Members questioned the executive’s insistence that non-paid up clubs either quit the meeting or remain as observers.

This lasted a while but later consensus was reached and the meeting proceeded with representation from nine clubs including Maroons and UPDF.
