Gor Mahia vs AFC Leopards: Aduda against FKF decision to hire foreign referees

The former K’Ogalo official says it will be wrong for the federation to seek the services of foreign referees for league derbies

Ex-Gor Mahia official Omondi Aduda has openly castigated plans by Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to hire foreign referees to handle derbies involving the champions and AFC Leopards.

On Thursday, FKF President Nick Mwendwa exclusively told Goal they have already mooted plans to hire foreign referees for contentious matches in the Premier League including the derbies involving Ingwe and K’Ogalo.

According to Mwendwa, the move will help end contentious issues that arise from such matches involving the giants of Kenyan football and further said they will also hire foreign referees to officiate in league matches especially when two or three teams are fighting for the title with few matches remaining to the end of the season.
