Lukwago boldly called for the amendment of the 1964 Sports Act under the National Council of Sports (NCS).

The current sportsmen should pick a lesson and plan for their retirement. There is also need to revisit the NCS sports Act of 1964, to prioritize the Infrastructure (sports facilities), administration and welfare of players when they are still active. During retirement as case is with the NSSF Act as a supplementary social security system that will in turn boost individual savings.
