This follows a ruling by The Employment and Labour Court which went in favor of Williamson.
The Scot was sacked in 2016 after a poor string of results and moved to court to challenge his sacking.
Nick Mwendwa, the FKF boss, confirmed the latest tribulation facing them and it comes barely two weeks after Adel Amrouche – another former Harambee Stars coach, was awarded KSh 108 million over wrongful dismissal by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) in Lausanne, Switzerland.

One interesting dynamic in the case involving the former Gor Mahia and Uganda Cranes coach is the fact that he was sacked one week after Nick Mwendwa assumed office in 2016.
Speaking on the sacking, Mwendwa said the body was not satisfied with the manner in which Williamson handled issues on the national team hence the decision to part ways with him.

"We have an issue with the way Williamson handled his duties. He had been paid kSh15 million by the former office but there's no record. All of that he says he was paid in cash,” Mwendwa was quoted by Nation.
TUKO.co.ke has further learnt the FKF is looking to appeal the decision.
