FKF response
[edit]Following previous threats from the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to impose sanctions on any official who would take part in the match,[3] an official from Kenyan football's governing body announced that Gor Mahia and Sofapaka would be fined a total of KSh.200,000/= each for participating in a match not sanctioned by the FKF and added that the teams would face further disciplinary action if they continued to defy them. Match referee Moses Osano, linesmen Dorcas Wanza and Stephen Oduor, fourth official Amos Wanjala and match commissioner Paul Kaunda were all also handed three-month bans by the FKF for participating in the match.[4]
