Match officials are ruining Kenyan Premier League

A KPL match between Tusker and Muhoroni Youth at Kasarani Stadium on Sunday evening was abandoned in the second half after Muhoroni protested that Tusker had fielded more than 11 players.
There was also controversy in the match between Gor Mahia and Mathare United as Mathare players confronted the referee in what they termed as unfair officiating.
Before that there have been many complains from teams over what they termed incompetent officiating.
If it was one isolated case of players confronting a referee after losing a match, then we would have been forced to think it is a case of sore grapes, but unfortunately the officials seem to be getting it wrong always.
How on earth can a team field more than 11 players as it was claimed to have happened in the Tusker match even for a minute?
The officials are spoiling our game and action should be taken before it gets out of hand. If action is not taken now, then we will continue having more matches decided in the boardrooms than on the pitch.

We at Game Yetu are forced to ask whether these officials are even qualified or they get their badges illegally?
