Match-fixing is boiling in KPL – Ambani says after clubs are ordered to pay referees

Former international Boniface Ambani has openly castigated the latest decision by the Kenyan Premier League Limited (KPL) to order clubs to pay matchday officials.

On Thursday, KPL CEO Jack Oghuda revealed to Goal the clubs will now be required to cater for the allowances and wages of the referees until they secure a sponsor.

The top-tier managers have been under difficult financial constraints following the exit of title sponsors SportPesa.
