Pay day at Cecafa as employees receive six months of accrued dues

Pay-day has beckoned - finally - for employees at the Council of East and Central Africa Football Association (Cecafa) secretariat in Nairobi, following months of anticipation.

Goal can exclusively reveal the employees’ accrued dues, dating six months, were settled by the regional body's new secretary-general Auka Gacheo in Nairobi on Monday.

“Yes, we have been paid, and in full,” one of the employees who spoke off the record told Goal. “It was tough going for six months without pay and no explanation but that is now behind us. I hope the situation doesn't recur.
