FUFA rejects Express appeal on Magogo


THE FUFA disciplinary committee is set to throw out Express’ petition against Football Competition Committee secretary Moses Magogo.

Super League side Express accused Magogo of bias after his committee ruled that the Red Eagles lose six points and be fined sh2m for causing the abandonment of a Super League match against Bunamwaya.

A member of the four man committee that had a lengthy meeting on the issue, told The New Vision last night that they had recommended that the Express appeal had no grounds, and asked FUFA CEO Charles Masembe to announce the verdict to the press.

The source said that after listening to Magogo and Express officials Kavuma Kabenge and Mahmoud Kateregga, it was found that the FCC secretary acted under his jurisdiction when he punished Express last month.

Yesterday’s meeting chaired by Canon Nsamba Bukenya, was also attended by the disciplinary committee secretary David Katabira, Jamal Ngobi, Ben Ochama and former Express SC fans coordinator Francis Ntalanzi.

“We had all the members we summoned but I can’t tell you anything from the meeting,” commitee secretary Katabira said yesterday. “We do not have the mandate to announce decisions from our meetings. The CEO will do that.”

Masembe, who also attended the meeting as an ex-officio, insisted he was yet to receive any official information regarding the meetings verdict.
