Trouble is brewing between the FKF caretaker Committee and a section of National Super League clubs that have raised integrity questions over the league.The clubs are questioning the retired judge Aaron Ringera-led 15-person government appointees about a series of errors committed and omitted during their short stint in charge of football in the country.The clubs want 2nd tier league stopped for three weeks until a number of issues are addressed. Leading the calls for stoppage of NSL are Muranga Seal who penned a stern email to the Caretaker Committee posing six questions, some touching on the integrity of the division.FKF Caretaker Committee Statement On Grassroots Football pic.twitter.com/JsXfpimHPN— FKFcaretaker (@FKFcaretaker) December 14, 2021 Grave among the accusations touch on match officials in the wake of controversial officiating in both the top and 2nd tier divisions.“You have not been paying referees which leaves room for compromise to officiating. We are not aware of who is appointing match officials and the criteria for appointments,” Murang’a stated in their hard hitting email seen by Mozzart SportSimilar sentiments have unofficially been raised by top-flight clubs as match outcomes are increasingly getting affected by referee decisions without giving aggrieved teams any route for recourseGo read that FKF Caretaker committee report on fixtures and fixture planning. Bwana, those clowns at @Football_Kenya wanted to hand Kariobangi Sharks FC the title even before a ball was kicked. Jogi Jokuoge, jogi jokuoge.— John Aggrey (@Superjohna07) December 17, 2021 The email also brings to light another vital aspect of the game not appropriately addressed by the caretaker Committee, much to the chagrin of a section of teams.“Some teams do not have players’ cards and therefore it’s possible that ineligible players are being fielded. You have not been supplying match statistics to teams therefore we have no knowledge of suspended and all cautioned players,” Murang’a highlightedMuranga are accusing the Caretaker Committee of excluding some clubs from their communications, thereby denying them vital information.“We are surprised that this email and others before have been sent to only a few addresses yet the league has 20 teams. Is there an explanation for this?” Muranga inquired in an email copied to AP Bomet, Coastal Heroes and seven other teams.They also want the caretaker Committee to stop dealing with people they consider masqueraders regarding NSL affairs.Read below the full email from Murang’a Seal to the FKF Caretaker CommitteeWe would like to bring to your attention that a majority of NSL teams have resolved to have the league put on hold for at least three weeks for the following reasons among others:1. Some teams do not have players’ cards and therefore it’s possible that ineligible players are being fielded.2. You have not been supplying match statistics to teams therefore we have no knowledge of suspended and all cautioned players.3. Teams are undergoing difficulties and you have not remitted the money that you promised.4. You have not been paying referees which leaves room for compromise to officiating5. We are not aware of who is appointing match officials and the criteria for appointments.6. We have not elected any officials of NSL and majority of the teams believe that importers masquerading as NSL officials are not giving you true facts.We are therefore requesting that the league is called off for at least three weeks to enable these concerns to be addressed.
