Football Kenya Federation (FKF), through its National Referees committee has concluded a performance review of selected match officials following recent SportPesa League fixtures. The review was conducted during a virtual meeting of the FKF Instructors Technical Group on 10th December 2025 and involved analysis of match footage, officials’ reports, and explanations provided, in line with FKF’s commitment to high standards of officiating and integrity. Following the review, the Committee assessed the performance of Mr. Erick Njogu (FIFA Referee) in Match No. 56 (Kariobangi Sharks vs Shabana FC) and Match No. 94 (Nairobi United vs Mathare United). Several key decisions were found to be inconsistent with the standards expected at his level. As a corrective and developmental measure, Mr. Njogu will be demoted to officiate National Super League (NSL) matches for the next five (5) rounds. His performance will be closely monitored, with evaluation reports submitted to determine readiness for reinstatement to the Premier League panel. The Committee also reviewed the performance of Mr. Fredrick Kajongo (Assistant Referee) in Match No. 90 (Kenya Police vs Mathare United). An incorrect offside decision was noted, and he has been issued with a formal written warning. His future assignments will be closely monitored, with an expectation of improved decision-making. FKF emphasizes that these measures form part of its ongoing referee development framework to ensure accountability, consistency, and excellence in officiating.
