Kenyans react on Twitter as FKF boss is questioned

News that Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Sam Nyawmeya presented himself to CID yesterday morning for grilling over the delayed departure of Harambee Stars to Cape Verde for a World Cup qualifier last night, did not go down well with Kenyans on Twitter.

The phrase ‘FKF President Sam Nyamweya’ was among the top trends with Kenyans expressing outrage at the players being stranded at Wilson Airport on Monday.

It is said that the plane was grounded because the players were on a go-slow over unpaid allowances. Other sources claim that the chartered plane that was to carry the national team had not been paid for.
