Coronavirus: Badoer reveals why Wazito FC stars will not suffer pay cuts

The club's stars have been promised full salaries even though football actions remain suspended following the Covid-19 scare

Wazito FC President Ricardo Badoer has explained why his employees, including the players, are not going to see pay cuts during the coronavirus break.

With the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) suspended, clubs have been looking at alternative ways of reducing their expenditure but four days ago, Badoer revealed none of his players was going to see even a coin subtracted from his salary.

He has now explained why he took the bold move.

“My thinking is when you have people working for you, you cannot decide not to pay them because there is a virus in the world, it would be very unfair for me to pull such a move,” Badoer told the club's website.
