Uganda’s national women volleyball team players and officials have blamed the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) for their latest loss.
According to Nairobi News, the team was left stranded for four hours on Thursday, when the bus they were travelling in was detained by police in Nakuru.
The bus driver was also arrested and charged with over-speeding.
The team was headed to Nairobi from Kampala to take part in the women’s World Championship qualifiers.
“They (police officers) didn’t ask for bribes but seemed intent on frustrating us. Detaining our players for that long without offering alternatives when we are travelling for a sporting assignment isn’t diplomatic. That fatigue caused us to perform below par against Kenya,” an official of the team is quoted by Nairobi News
