Pieter De Jongh's forgery claims have sparked heated debate on social media. Last week, Game Yetu exclusively revealed that the Dutch was suspended by the Hungary FA after falsifying his coaching license. The debate has generated a lot of debate not only in the Den, but across the country with varied views raised by the football enthusiasts.
"We need positive result not papers," read a post from Amos Maliki Wafula's Facebook account. "Another "Waiganjo" coach...?!," asked Ivan Lango.
"As long as he delivers! Football Coach isn't a career in medicine, engineering or law!," posted Isendi Linus Muchenya. "Game Yetu confirms what I have always said...Henrik Pieter de Jongh is a fraud, a con, a Waiganjo...His best qualification was the 3-1 win over Gor Mahia..."wrote another fan.
"Twataka de jong awaonyeshe pia soka haichezwi na certificate....," replied Knowdez Mfyam.

"Even the local coaches don't have papers,they r just former players!," commented Chris Odieto.
