It is also reported that another Kirinya Jinja SS member of the technical team Hannington Kalyesubula verbally attacked the match officials.

"The panel has slapped a four match touchline ban on Kirinya Jinja SSS FC head coach Ayiekoh Charles Lukula for unsporting conduct towards match officials.

Ayeikoh Charles Lukula is not allowed to access the dressing rooms while serving the ban. Article 30.8(iii) of FUFA Competitions Rules," read the communication from disciplinary panel.
