FKF-BetKing deal: When are clubs getting money if deal is genuine? – Shimanyula

Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has maintained the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) deal with betting firm BetKing is not genuine.

On Thursday, the FKF, through president Nick Mwendwa, announced they had signed a lucrative five-year sponsorship deal worth Ksh1.2billion ahead of the new season of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL).

Mwendwa went further to state the new partners will wire the first payment in the next few days, which will be distributed to the clubs playing in the top-flight.

However, the Homeboyz boss maintained his earlier stance and does not think the deal is genuine because the FKF signed it behind the backs of the clubs and stakeholders.
