Mozzart Sport has since established that FKF gave the third tier club an extension of two hours to delay the kick off ,but were unable to raise match officials fee and security prompting match officials to call off the match in favour of visitors Bungoma Superstars. “The hosts frustrated us with a kick off. The game was supposed to kick off at 2pm. They had organised for the school games to play in the field, austensibly to delay our kick off. We gave them some mercy and agreed to kick off at 3.20pm. They were not ready again. So we made calls to the federation and they were allowed up to 3.45pm to kick off. When time came, they didn’t have security and money for the match officials. Teams marched to the field and the MC called off the match in favour of Bungoma Superstars FC.” Offered Bungoma Superstars media director Simiyu Baraza . Kamungei United, are who are without a win in nine league matches, are ranked 15th on division one log with seven points from 24 matches and will be hoping FKF extends an olive leave and allows them to conclude the season.
