In a statement released by the club and the Authority, Vice Chairman Aggrey Ashaba has been referred back to the council’s Executive committee. The KCCA Education and Social Services Standing Committee refused to pass his name accusing him of failure to account for the funds he received from the sale of players for the past two seasons. However reports suggest he will bounce back because of his vast knowledge in handling Football as a business.
