Azimio La Umoja presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, brought the matter to light while addressing fans who had gathered outside the Moi Stadium Kasarani after the Mashemeji derby between AFC Leopards against Gor Mahia.

Raila also said there are laid out plans to hire and bring in professional coaches who will be tasked with nurturing local talents hence raising football standards to international levels, singling out Victor Wanyama.

Gor Mahia stretched their dominance over rivals AFC Leopards to six years, after a second half goal levelled the score line to 1-1 in an FKF Premier League fixture at Kasarani Stadium.
