generalFKF Statement On National Referees Committee Decisions Sportpesa League Match No 68 Kakamega Homeboyz V Muranga Seal FCDecember 10, 2025 Share: The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) wishes to notify the public and all stakeholders of the decisions arising from the review of SportPesa League Match No. 68, contested between Kakamega Homeboyz FC and Murang’a Seal FC. Following the assessment conducted by the National Referees Committee on Monday, 17th November 2025, the following rulings were issued: 1. Disciplinary Action – Second Assistant Referee Mr. Jackson Opiayo Mr. Jackson Opiayo has been removed from SportPesa League match appointments for three (3) rounds and reassigned to the National Super League. This action follows an offside decision made from an incorrect positioning, which denied the attacking team a legitimate promising opportunity. His performance during the NSL assignments will be closely monitored, and a detailed report will be required before consideration for reinstatement to SportPesa League duties. 2. Official Warning – Referee Mr. David Serem Mr. Serem has been issued with an official warning for an incorrect corner-kick decision taken without clear justification and without supportive input from the assistant referee. The Committee noted that available footage did not support his decision, and his explanation during the review was found unsatisfactory. 3. Official Warning – First Assistant Referee Ms. Gladys Kamuren Ms. Kamuren has also been issued with an official warning over the same corner-kick incident. Despite being best placed to determine whether the ball had left the field of play, her communication and signalling were deemed insufficient, contributing to an incorrect final decision. FKF remains committed to enhancing the quality, consistency, and integrity of officiating within the SportPesa League and all FKF-managed competitions. The Federation will continue supporting referees through training, evaluations, and corrective measures aimed at continual improvement.
