The Football Kenya Federation Independent Disciplinary and Appeals Committee (FKFIDA) has dismissed Sofapaka's appeal over former player Wycliffe Kasaya's case and ordered a Ksh 1.6 million compensation to be made as earlier ruled.

"The Player filed a suit against the club at the Player Status Committee on December 11, 2018. The contention at the first instance of proceedings was that the club had failed to pay the player his salary for three consecutive months, and had unilaterally terminated his contract which was valid from June 2, 2018, up to May 31, 2020."

Furthermore, the player claimed that the club was preventing him from moving on to a new club by denying him a release letter that would enable his new club to secure his registration for the new season.
