The KPL off season has rendered a high-ranking local referee extremely broke and thirsty that he has been begging for rounds, cab fare and soft loans from revellers.
The man who officiates in the top-tier league is known for controversial decisions perceived to be leaning towards a top football club which he brags he has stood with kwa hali na mali.
“He is well known for his love of the bottle but how he uses his influence to get favours from fans is amazing. The fans know him as well and he has already promised them ‘return on investment’ when the league resumes,” said a female barmaid.
