Responding on tne incident, CS Murkomen explained the circumstances that led to his heckling at a football tournament.
Murkomen explained that the disturbance was as a result of perceived unaddressed concerns involving both players and fans.
He pointed out that the men’s finals were postponed due to protests by Baringo Youth FC from Kabarnet, Baringo Central, dissatisfied with their loss against Chemogoch FC from Mogotio.
“The officials did their best to resolve the matter, but the Baringo central team was not satisfied. Being the home team, and with their fans being more than half of the stadium, it was impossible to proceed with the match,” Murkomen stated.
“The players and the fans poured their frustrations on FKF officials, especially one Mr. Ruto, whom they felt, was not addressing their concerns. I appreciate all the volunteers who have so far made the OKM Peace Cup a success,” the CS added.
