Former Vipers Sports Club secretary Haruna Kyobe has been banned by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the FUFA Ethics and Integrity Committee from any football related activities for a period of sixteen (16) months for involving in the illegal transfer of Joseph Mpande from Vipers SC to Horizon FC of Myanmar.
According to the findings of the FUFA Investigatory chamber of the Ethics and Integrity Committee, Mr. Kyobe was at fault for falsifying documents, forging a signature and illegally transferring the player to Myanmar.
Kyobe’s conduct was found to have violated Article 7 of the FUFA Statute, Article 14 Para 1 and 3, Article 18 of the FUFA Code Of Ethics and Article 135 of FUFA Disciplinary Code.
The adjudicatory Chamber of the FUFA Ethics and Integrity Committee chaired by Mr William Byansi, therefore banned the former secretary for twelve (12) months for the illegal transfer and a further four (4) for breach of duty of cooperation with the Ethics and Integrity Committee.
The ban takes immediate effect and will be served consecutively though Kyobe has ten days to appeal.
In a related development, suspended Vipers SC chairman Mr. Tadeus Kitandwe and Mr. Richard Ssemanda have been set free after the committee failed to establish any evidence that linked them to the transfer.
The committee further clarified that they have no jurisdiction to determine any case against the player (Mpande).
Mr. Kyobe has previously worked as former records officer at FUFA as well as a Secretary and Transfer Matching System Manager of Vipers SC.
