Busoga United president Dinah Nyago has warned the FUFA referee’s Standing Committee to avoid assigning Richard Kimbowa to officiate the club’s games.
The tough-speaking Nyago was reacting to the FUFA Super League Limited board’s report for last season, where Busoga United was singled out for hooliganism.
The particular match that was highlighted was their clash against Express FC which was played on November 16th last year but abandoned in the 89th minute because of fan violence.

An emphatic 5-0 thrashing of Busoga United on Friday at the MTN Omondi Stadium earned the Bugolobi-based side their second straight league win.
Nyago put the blame on the referee’s poor officiating and has warned him not to attempt to step in Busoga’s games.
“I said this earlier but let me just go on record that we, as Busoga United, shall not play any match in which [Richard] Kimbowa is officiating because if you follow closely to that case, you’ll realise he was the cause of the confusion,” Nyago warned.
She is also puzzled with the manner in which FUFA disciplinary channels are unfair in their judgements and also punish such refereeing errors, which she says cause the violence.
“The clubs are punished and the referees are rewarded when the points are deducted from us, which should not be the case,” she added.
Busoga United lost the particular match by forfeiture and docked a further three points and three goals from their tally.
On top of that, the club was banned from hosting games in Jinja for five games.
