If FUFA decides to gift Kitara FC three points for a match that was never played, and was boycotted in protest of a league format FUFA itself has since abandoned, then Ugandan football will have witnessed governance at its most imaginative.
This would not be officiating. It would be fiction.
Vipers SC, under Dr. Lawrence Mulindwa, rejected a flawed league format.
They did not protest a fair system; they challenged a broken one. That challenge worked. FUFA blinked, retreated, and restored the old format. End of argument.
Or so it should have been.
Awarding Kitara three points now would mean FUFA admitting the format was wrong while still punishing the club that forced the correction.
That is like overturning a bad law and jailing the whistleblower anyway, justice rewritten with a red pen.
And then there is the delay.
More than two months later, FUFA has not rescheduled the match. Not because fixtures are impossible to find, but because indecision has become policy.
Every week the calendar moves, yet this game remains frozen, as if time itself is being used as a disciplinary tool.
If Kitara deserve points, let them earn them on the pitch. If Vipers were wrong, let them lose there. But gifting results after cancelling the very reason for the boycott is not leadership; it is administrative revenge dressed as regulation.
Three points without football is not fairness.
It is FUFA trying to score after the referee has blown for full time.
