Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has announced the suspension of three match officials, one player, and a team manager over their suspected involvement in match-fixing last month.
The Football Kenya Federation’s Integrity Department is currently investigating three referees, namely Jacqueline Barongo, Meshack Omondi, and Stephen Adeya, for alleged misconduct.
Additionally, Kevin Olang’o, the experienced goalkeeper of FC Talanta, and Abdulkarim Amele, the team manager of Kibra United, have been suspended from all football-related activities pending clearance of their names.
“In light of these allegations, the above-named individuals have been provisionally suspended from all football-related activities with immediate effect. This suspension will remain in force until the investigations are concluded and a determination is made by the FKF Disciplinary Committee,” said FKF.
The federation has cautioned football stakeholders against involving the aforementioned individuals until their cases have been heard and decided by the Disciplinary Committee.
“Consequently, FKF has directed all its members and the general public not to have any form of sporting contact with the suspended individuals. No further details will be provided at this stage as the matter is pending hearing and determination by the FKF Disciplinary Committee,” concluded the statement.
