Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side Nzoia Sugar will be fined Sh1 million for handing AFC Leopards a walkover on Wednesday.
Nzoia refused to travel to Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega to honour the scheduled match, insisting as the home team they had a right to choose the venue.
The match was to be broadcast live and as a result, the hosts have to reimburse the league organisers for loss of income for skipping the game.
KPL CEO Jack Oguda now says tough measures will be taken against the Sugar Millers for the decision to forfeit the match.
