“FKF wishes to inform your good office that it has opened investigations into the allegations touching on both players and requests you furnish the FKF Integrity Department with the official contact details inclusive of known email addresses and telephone numbers of Mr Ogutu and Mr Ndonye,” read part of the statement signed by Michael Kamure, the Head of FKF Integrity Department.

“Meanwhile in an effort to protect the integrity of the game during this investigation period, we wish to inform you that we have regrettably suspended both Mr Ogutu and Mr Ndonye from all football related activities until the matter is concluded.”

Mathare's Chief Executive Officer Jectone Obure told Nation Sport that they suspended the two players on Monday evening after their internal investigations revealed that they might have been involved in the vice.

The club then reported them to FKF for further investigation.

"Some of the results that we have been getting are shocking. If you look at some of the goals we have been conceding, they were fishy so we decided to launch our own investigations and on Monday evening, we suspended the two players and reported the matter to FKF," said Obure.

"As a team, integrity is very key to us. Our players even signed forms vowing not to take part in the vice so we will never tolerate it. We don't mind if we remain with even 10 players or get relegated as long as they are players who uphold integrity."
