Seasoned sports administrator, Krishna Achuthan, has returned to Hockey Association of Malawi (Ham) as interim Vice-President to replace the late Dean Pinto.<\/p>\n
After serving as general secretary for about 30 years, Achuthan was out of the hockey set-up for three years after losing his position to Wanthaza Mughogho, but the latter resigned a year due to work commitments.<\/p>\n
Ham General Secretary, Chigo Thindwa, confirmed that the association incorporated Achuthan because of his vast experience in the sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a respected sports administrator who has been involved in hockey for decades as general secretary. He brings that wealth of experience to Ham and we hope he can make a big contribution just like the late Pinto,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Thindwa added that Achuthan would be confirmed during Ham\u2019s Annual General Meeting in July.<\/p>\n
Achuthan said he was humbled to be back to the sport he had dedicated his life to.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a service that I cherish. My priority will be to see the National Hockey Stadium Project making good progress this year. The project is my brainchild and I want to see it come to pass,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Achuthan added that he would ensure that all hockey committees are active.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have already held courses for administrators. We have currently asked the development committee to come up with short-term and long-term programmes and submit budgets so that we could see how to develop the sport,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
With Ham President Tochi Gill outside the country for long, Achuthan is now Ham\u2019s acting-president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
