Football Kenya Federation President Nick Mwendwa is optimistic the government will come to their rescue and pay former Harambee Stars coach Adel Amrouche’s Sh109 million as ordered by Fifa’s Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

The Switzerland-based CAS ordered FKF to pay Amrouche Sh109 million in September last year for wrongful dismissal, but the federation is yet to comply thus risking Kenya to be banned from the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. Amrouche was sacked in 2014 without just course.
