The Federation of Uganda Football Association (FUFA) Disciplinary and Ethics committee has condemned the chairperson of Police FC Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Asan Kasingye to 2.5 million shillings payable within 30 days for making defamatory statement.
“Mr. Asan Kasingye is sanctioned with;
A minimum fine of UGX 2.5M ( Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Uganda Shillings Only) under Article 39 (3) and Article 40 (2) of the FUFA Ethics Code. The fine must be paid within thirty (30) days from receipt of the decision.” Read the statement
The FUFA Ethics and Disciplinary Committee ruled that AIGP Kasingye violated Article 39(2) of the FUFA Ethics Code which provides that; Persons bound by this Code are forbidden from making any public statements of a defamatory nature towards FUFA and /or towards any other person bound by this code in the context of FUFA events.
