'My warnings of Mwendwa regime fell on deaf ears' - Shimanyula on FKF

The football administrator made the claims after the FA lost its key sponsor for the top-tier and the lower league

Kakamega Homeboyz's Cleophas Shimanyula has claimed he warned club chairmen against electing Football Kenya Federation Premier League president Nick Mwendwa.

Shimanyula said his warnings "fell on deaf ears" on the matter of the BetKing sponsorship. The betting firm terminated a five-year contract with the federation even before the first season of their partnership with FKF ended.

The sponsorship saw BetKing provide financial resources not only for the top-tier sides but also for Division One teams that had faced tough challenges after SportPesa's exit.
