Summary
Audit firm KPMG has been dealt a blow after the High Court ordered it to pay its ex-boss Sh379.03 million for unlawful sacking in 2017.
Justice Francis Tuiyott upheld the decision of an arbitrator awarding the millions of shillings to Richard Boro Ndung’u, saying his compulsory retirement was unlawful.
The Sh379.03 million award is, however, a reduction from the Sh504.8 million (at the current exchange rate) earlier granted to Mr Ndung’u in 2018 by the arbitrator, John Ohaga, which had prompted KPMG to seek redress in the High Court.
Four days after the clash against the Batoto ba Mungu, Mathare United will play Zoo FC before hosting Bandari on January 22nd. The Slum Boys will then travel to Nakuru and face Ulinzi Stars on January 27th before concluding the month’s duties with a game against Tusker on January 31st.
On the other hand, Zoo will open the season with a match against Bandari FC at Afraha Stadium on January 9. They will then face Posta Rangers at the same venue on January 13 as FKF has not given a reason why the matches will not be hosted at the Kericho Green Stadium.
Mathare United to open season against Gor Mahia, Zoo handed Bandari Goal 01/01/2021 Kiplagat Sang
The Football Kenya Federation have released the new Premier League fixtures after Mathare United and Zoo FC were reinstated by the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT).
The two top tier sides had been expelled after they objected to the StarTimes broadcasting deal, but after Zoo moved to SDT, the FKF expulsion notice was stayed by the tribunal’s chair John Ohaga and the federation ordered to allow the clubs to participate in the league.
Mathare United will consequently begin their campaign against Gor Mahia on January 14. As Mathare will be starting their season, the rest of the teams would have played six games already and the Slum Boys will have to try and catch up, as most of their fixtures have been congested into a two-week period.
Goal on Thursday.
“But the sure thing is they will not get the money because that money does not belong to FKF it belongs to the sponsor.
“We are going to fix them in the league’s programme and new fixtures, inclusive of the teams, are going to come out in due time.
“When a court rules on a matter, we surely have no reason to contest the decision. We are ready and we will fix them for the weekend programme. There will be no money for them as they enjoy playing.”
FKF had also opened a 14-day transfer window for Mathare United and Zoo players to find new homes but SDT stayed that decision too.
