Masinde Muliro tactician Abel Wafula has hit out at Lakeside Basketball for failing to show up on time for their KBF premier league match that was to be played on Saturday at Masinde Muliro.Failure by the debutants Lakeside to appear for the match awarded Masinde Muliro a walk over.
Speaking to Michezoafrika.com, Wafula put the blame entirely on Lakeside,
“The match was brought forward from 4pm to noon due to the rains that had been pounding Kakamega and the necessary communication were made even the federation knew that but they chose to ignore it.”
He went on to add that even after trying to communicate to Lakeside they did not communicate back, “We tried calling them but they were negative in their response so the officials had to roll the game.”
Lakeside showed up at 3:00pm way long after Masinde Muliro were awarded the match to put their record so far at 2 wins out of 3 games in the premier league.
