Former Football Kenya Federation president Sam Nyamweya has questioned the legality of the recently announced Sh1.2billion BetKing sponsorship deal for the Kenyan Premier League by the federation. The five year deal was unveiled by current FKF president Nick Mwendwa on Thursday without club’s participation and in the absence of the sponsor’s representatives.
