Let MPs enact laws to tackle match fixing

The beautiful game is weathering some dark forces out to fuel disrepute in form of fixing matches for a few pieces of silver. Last week, police arrested three suspects who are alleged to have tried to bribe several Nairobi City Stars players so as to influence results in their game with Sofapaka.

The players had been promised Sh1.8 million to fix the match, but they exposed the scheme by reporting to their club CEO and the authorities. This demonstrates a high level of integrity among players, who are most likely not earning well currently, but respect the game and fair competition.
