By DAVID KWALIMWA More by this AuthorFootball Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa and SportPesa Chief Executive Ronald Karauri have publicly differed on the Sh1.2 billion sponsorship deal recently signed by the football body on behalf of Kenyan Premier League (KPL) clubs. Mwendwa announced last Thursday he'd shaken hands on a deal with Nigerian betting firm, BetKing, to become the title sponsors of the country's top-flight competition. The competition, Mwendwa added, will be renamed the Betking Premier League. But then Karauri, who oversaw a Sh450 million title sponsorship deal between the KPL and SportPesa two years ago, has poked holes in this deal.
