The FUFA Disciplinary Committee, over a number of counts, has banned Mr. Kavuma Kabenge for 11 years from taking part in any football-related activities (administrative, sporting or any other)
The counts include;
- Failure to comply with association football rules (1 year)
- Failure to comply with the directive of the disciplinary committee (1 year)
- Putting the Game of football into disrepute (2 years)
- Forgery and falsification of a number of documents, including USL articles association that FUFA understands as the FUFA Member Statutes (7 years)
The Disciplinary Committee has also banned Mr. Jimmy Seggawa Ebil for 1 year from taking part in any football-related activities (administrative, sporting or any other) on the count of failure to comply with the directive of the disciplinary committee
After receiving the sermons to the Disciplinary Committee, both Mr. Kabenge and Mr. Ebil responded in writing that the FUFA Disciplinary Committee has no jurisdiction to sermon them by the fact that they are not members of FUFA. The FUFA DC instead cited Article 3 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and Article 4 of the FUFA Disciplinary Code that includes officials as persons subject to the disciplinary codes to proceed with the deliberations
The sanctions imply that no legal or natural person within association football may make sporting, administrative or any other contact with the two administrators for their respective periods and any violation of this sanction may lead to sanctions to defaulting person(s)
Mr. Kavuma Kabenge has hitherto been the Chairman of the USLL Board while Mr. Segawa has been the USLL Chief Executive Officer
The two gentlemen are at liberty to exercise their rights of appeal within three (3) days
FUFA Disciplinary Committee is composed of Mr. Geoffrey Ojok Odur (Chairman), Mr. Daudi Balondemu (Vice Chairman), Mr. Asuman Nyonyintono Mulawa (Secretary), Idrissa Kasalirwe and Jacob Lubega as members.
