Troubles seems to have knocked at the door of Wazito FC as the club faces imminent auction. This is after High Court froze several assets at the Kenya Premier League Club.
The club’s former Sporting Director and Treasurer Solomon Alubala sued after his dismissal from the club.
In 2019, Alubala was fired by the clubs owner Ricardo Badoer, through a tweet, shocking many.
“As of today, Solomon Alubala will step down as Sporting Director and Treasurer for Wazito FC,” tweeted Badoer.
But Solomon Alubala was reportedly not compensated as per the Kenyan Employment Act 2017 leading to the suit.
