A female media liaison officer of a top Kenyan Premier League (KPL) side is allegedly involved in a love affair with a foreign player with whom they also have a child together.

The player who once bagged one of the most coveted awards in KPL might have had an outstanding season — but underwent backlash from fans on social media who felt he was favoured in some way due to his relationship with a KPL officer.

Despite the fact that players voted for their fellow players, an inside source told OffSide that the outcome was compromised, and that there were better options for the category.

The winner, who was out injured for a while, also admitted in an interview with journalists that he was surprised by the win.
