Netball Association of Malawi (Nam) is yet to officially offer renowned coach Griffin Saenda a contract for his role as technical director two years after his appointment.<\/p>\n
Saenda has taken a quiet role since his appointment as he is yet to execute duties for the post.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t been forthcoming with programmes because I have no contract. Much as I know the duties of a technical director, I also need a contract to do things in line with the terms of reference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Saenda said he was unable to conduct coaching and umpiring clinics because Nam was yet to release funding for such activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow can I travel around the country without funding?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe post requires funding. I have only been able to run clinics in the Southern Region using resources that fall under my office [Southern Region Sports Development Officer].\u201d<\/p>\n
Saenda said his involvement with Malawi Queens was also limited as he does not want to interfere in the technical panel.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, whenever the team is training at Blantyre Youth Centre I offer them support. However, at times I lean back because there is nothing concrete to refer to,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Nam general secretary, Carol Bapu, refused to comment on why the association was yet to give Saenda a contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
