‘Carry your own cross’ – FKF right to punish AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia – Shimanyula

The Kakamega-based official blames the two clubs for fueling trouble with the federation saying they deserve to be punished

Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has supported the decision taken by Football Kenya Federation to punish both Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards after they skipped the Mashemeji derby on Saturday.

As a result of missing the derby at Thika Stadium, the two Kenyan giants have been docked three points each, AFC Leopards fined Ksh 6 million for being the home team and Gor Mahia Ksh 4 million as the away side. Their club bosses – Dan Shikanda and Ambrose Rachier – were handed provisional suspensions for two weeks pending a decision by the disciplinary committee.
