Recent retirements by Uganda internationals Denis Onyango, Hassan Wasswa and Michael Azira generated heated debate in a Parliamentary Committee on Thursday, as members sought answers from the Uganda Minister of Sports, Denis Obua.

While Obua sought to clear the air over the developments, members of the committee asked clear explanations as to what might have caused the sudden exits of the experienced stars.
