Otieno got injured while turning out for Harambee Stars against Tanzania in an African Nations Championship qualifier match in August.
He says the setback denied him a chance to join a different club.
When Otieno got injured his club and the Football Kenya Federation tussled over who was responsible for his medical bills.
Meanwhile, former Kibera Parliamentary aspirant Eliud Owalo challenged Kogalo to adopt a sustainable business model while supporting them with 250,000 shillings.
Owalo’s gesture to the players comes at a time they have faced delayed salaries as the club ran without a financial partner for the abandoned 2019/20 season.
Owalo’s financial boost comes just days after Kogalo secured a sponsorship deal for 3 years from betting company Bet-safe.
