Kenya’s Fifa referee Davies Omweno has been handed a three-month suspension after Libya successfully lodged a complaint with CAF following their loss to Tunisia on November 11. The Caf referees committee cited poor performance, wrong positioning and movement, incorrect identification of fouls and failure to administer some disciplinary sanctions as the reasons for Omweno’s suspension. O’Michael was also guilty of poor performance in identifying offside decisions including one that denied Libya a valid goal. Following the match, an African 2018 World Cup qualifier, where Tunisia won 1-0, Libya coach Jalal Damja blamed their loss to ‘poor officiating’. “If Omweno is guilty of the said offences, then he only has himself to blame,” said Ottieno.
