Fifa orders Wazito to pay sacked players over Sh6 million
Wazito forward Augustine Otu celebrates after scoring during their Kenyan Premier League match against Zoo at Kenyatta Stadium in Machakos on March 1, 2020. He was one of the 12 players dropped by Wazito on June 06, 2020.
Of the five, only Mansoor Safi was dismissed by the club at the beginning of the year while the rest were victims of the recent massive restructuring in the team.
Their cases were presented directly to the Fifa Dispute Resolution Chamber in mid-August and the department has now expedited the matter.
The Fifa Dispute Resolution Chamber has ordered Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) side Wazito FC to pay five players it sacked over six million shillings cumulative within 45 days.
Ugandan midfielder Mansoor Safi Agu, DR Congo international Piscas Muhindo, Ghanaian Paul Acquah, Liberian Augustine Otu and Togolese defender Issofou Bourhana, through their lawyer Felix Majani, reported the club to the world football governing body seeking compensation for unfair dismissal.
