Kenya: Short-Term Contracts Not Working for Us

AFC Leopards must stop hiring players on short-term contracts if we have to end our dream of clinching the Kenyan Premier (FKF-PL) we last won in 1998.

As the management is working hard to settle part of the debts owed to former coaches and players, a technical bench member has confirmed that the club planning recruit over 10 players after losing 14 on account of the short term contracts. But is the club going to retain them for future success?

As it stands, AFC Leopards cannot be allowed to engage in the transfer market to sign players following a case before Fifa over debts owed to our former employees.

With new season quickly approaching, it’s unfortunate that some things including losing good players due to unpaid salaries are happening to a big club like AFC Leopards while supporter including club patron Musalia Mudavadi are watching!

With no structures in place at the Den, our patron should use his political connections to search for a serious and stable sponsor to rescue Ingwe currently on the death bed.

It’s a shocking situation that Leopards will have to plan for the new season without over 14 regulars including hitman Elvis Rupia who will be featuring for a Second Division club in Saudi Arabia.

The 26-year-old talisman nicknamed “Machapo” has joined Bisha FC (formerly Al- Nakheel) on a one year contract, with an option to extend for another year.

The former Wazito FC player scored 17 goals for Leopards, finishing second to Erick Kapaito of Kariobangi Sharks who had 24 in the Kenyan Premier League (FKF- PL).
