For months, she has been forced out of office, with an ad-hoc normalisation committee currently running federation affairs after the National Council of Sports (NCS) withdrew the Certificate of Recognition.
It should be noted that Kato has been the hand behind Kitende's recent triumphs and dominance of netball in schools in the country.
Kitende are the schools' 2023 netball champions in both Uganda and East Africa, and they have achieved the feats under Kato's watch.
The national team appointment comes as a reward for his vast knowledge and experience in the game, and he will hope to gain even more given the stage and nature competitions to be played.
