Kampala — Fufa Competitions Committee (FCC) Secretary Moses Magogo has said that he has reservations about the Fufa Disciplinary committee's decision to overturn the FCC's ruling on September's abandoned game between Bunamwaya and Express at Nakivubo.
"If you read Section H of the Judicature and follow the evidence (photographs, audio and video clips) available on match-day to punish Express, the FCC's ruling should have stood," Magogo told the Daily Monitor.
"My worry is that what if a similar scenario happens? Because these rules were not amended to overturn the punishment. So are we going to keep on revolving rules that were set and agreed upon by all clubs to have a well-mannered league," said Magogo.
Express appealed to Fufa's Disciplinary Committee against the six -point deduction and Shs2 million fine as per the Super League regulations. When they won the appeal, they were instead docked three points and instructed to pay a fine of Shs1 million.
In a letter signed by Express Secretary Kavuma Kabenge, the club argues that the FCC had no authority over the case. "FCC was following the rules so we didn't succumb to any pressure," Magogo explained.
However, the Disciplinary committee chairman Cannon Nsamba admitted that Express was found guilty for the offence, but the committee saw it fitting to reduce the punishment. The game in question was aborted in the 36th minute after a contested goal from former Express striker Tony Odur.
