FKF has since suspended two players from taking part in any football activity in the country until the matter is concluded.

 

Ogutu is a defender, while Ndonye is a midfielder.

 

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has launched investigations on Mathare United’s Lennox Ogutu and Alphonce Ndonye over match-fixing allegations.

 

Official Club Statement

 

Mathare United makes the following statement in regards to match-fixing among two of the club’s players:

 

Sincerely believing our players and team were far better than the results for most of our matches so far this year, MUFC management launched discrete investigations and then shared our findings and concerns with FKF.

 

“Some of the results that we have been getting are shocking. If you look at some of the goals we have been conceding, they were fishy so we decided to launch our own investigations and on Monday evening, we suspended the two players and reported the matter to FKF,” said Obure.

 

Late Monday afternoon that led to the immediate suspension by our club and by FKF of two key MUFC players for suspected match-fixing: our veteran midfielder Alphonse Ndonye and key central defender Lennox Ogutu.

 

The club will issue another statement after those further investigations are completed.

 

FKF had on January 13 suspended 15 players including Tusker defender Isaac Kipyegon, former Tusker and Nairobi City Stars midfielder Mike Madoya and former AFC Leopards striker Du Monde Selenga Mangili who is now the head coach of Kericho FC over the same allegations.
