FUFA disciplinary Committee has given a four match ban to Kirinya Jinja SS coach Charles Ayiekoh Lukula . In addition to that, the Jinja club has also been docked one point and a goal.

In a reference made by the matche officials after Kirinya Jinja's 1-0 defeat to Soana at Bugembe stadium on November 4^th it's reported that Ayiekoh attacked match officials accusing them of being biased.
