A reliable source confirmed to Times Sport that his exit is linked to the latest forfeiture, among other sanctions, awarded to the military club over exceeding foreign player limit during Sunday’s goalless draw against Gorilla FC.

Karasira follows other key club officials, including Team Manager Eric Ntazinda and Finance Manager Georgine Kalisa, who were also removed from their positions.
