In a statement released Monday, FKF Secretary Harold Ndege dismissed Gor Mahia’s claims that a top federation official in Nairobi instructed the game to proceed despite security concerns. Ndege maintained that the decision to continue the match was made by the match commissioner on the ground, who found no immediate threat to safety.
But the spotlight now shifts to Shabana, with FKF confirming they are reviewing the official match report to determine responsibility for the violence that erupted. Ndege warned that if the Kisii-based club is found culpable, the federation will not hesitate to take firm disciplinary action.
“On the issues of hooliganism, we have left the matter to the police to investigate. The culprits whose images were captured causing chaos will be dealt with,” said Ndege.
“As for Shabana, if they are found responsible for inciting or failing to control their supporters, they will face consequences.”
Potential sanctions could range from hefty fines to stadium bans or even points deductions—punishments that could derail Shabana’s campaign and damage their reputation.
The outcome of the FKF investigation is expected to set a precedent as the federation seeks to curb rising cases of violence in local football.
