The Sh1.2billion BetKing sponsorship deal that Football Kenya Federation (FKF) secured for the Kenyan Premier League on Thursday is much welcome, our hope being that it will benefit the right people. It was more of a motley of words sewn together in haste to churn out an ambiguous piece of information whose outcome sent football stakeholders into a spin. Mwendwa’s tact, however, produced the desired results, as it whetted the appetite of local football enthusiasts, yearning for a larger swallow of the news the following day. As this took place, a sudden flood of hope swept across the country, momentarily carrying away the consecutive months of endless agony that local clubs, coaches, players and referees had persevered. Simply the deal between FKF and BetKing and or its holding company is not adding up,” wrote Nyamweya in a statement.
