Shabana FC issues apologies to fans following untimely postponement of clash against Posta
Shabana fans had flocked Gusii Stadium excited to witness their side take on Posta Rangers on Saturday, only for the match to be called off with the officials raising concern over the ground's security status.
Oguda has expressed discontent with the way FKF handled the situation.
"The beauty about KPL was constant meetings and constant discussions about how to improve the league. We did have a safety and security committee that used to handle all the matches before the season and grade them as low-risk, medium-risk and high-risk," Oguda told Passion Sports when questioned on what FKF erred and could be done differently.
"The head of that committee had to ensure that all the guidelines for high-risk matches are followed to the letter. For instance we preferred that tickets for high-risk matches be sold in advance and improved security measures."
Prior, Ulinzi's late equalizer against Shabana saw the Ulinzi Sports complex erupt into chaos with supporters uprooting seats, prompting FKF to regulate over the matter.
FKF's ruling slapped Shabana with a five-match ban as well as responsibility of compensation for the vandalism at Ulinzi Sports Complex.

'They carry all blame' – Why Pamzo feels officials are at fault for postponing Shabana vs Posta Rangers clash
Shabana coach Sammy Omollo Pamzo has teared into the match officials decision to go AWOL which led to their home clash against Posta Rangers to be called off in embarrasing manner.
Oguda has slammed the federation fro being reactive in the matter.
"They (FKF) should be proactive instead of being reactive. This incident that happened the other day with Ulinzi was being reactive because if they should have engaged the police, the club and put down very serious measures," added Oguda
