"We wish to draw your attention to particular incidents of bad/biased refereeing out of the many that transpired under officiation of Match day center referee, Ali Sabilla Chelengat, as stated below;” Vipers' letter to FUFA stated.
"1. In the 66th Minute Kitara FC was awarded a controversial penalty kick that was never valid as the purportedly fouled player (Jude Ssemugabi) carried out simulation."
