'They've become a 'next season' team'- Shimanyula likens AFC Leopards to Arsenal
Kakamega Homeboyz FC chairman has mocked AFC Leopards' title claims likening them to Arsenal's repeated unfulfilled championship promises.
The issue came to light after four former Bandari employees, Wilson Oduor Obungu, Daniel Mnyaro Mshamba, Kenneth Onyach Othieno, and David Kingatua Njuguini, lodged complaints regarding unpaid salaries.
Initially, Bandari FC had declared that there were 'no overdue payables', a statement later found to be incorrect.
"Upon reviewing the submitted documents and the court judgment related to these former employees, the FIB granted Bandari FC their license for the 2024/25 season, albeit with sanctions for non-compliance with Article 61 of the FKF Men’s Club Licensing Regulations," said the FIB in a statement.

This is not the first financial controversy for the coastal club.
Just two months prior, the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) ruled against Bandari in a separate case involving unfair termination of six players.
The tribunal, led by senior lawyer John Ohaga, ordered the club to pay a total of Sh8 million to Douglas Mokaya, Faraj Ominde, Zakayo Keegan, Felix Oluoch, Johana Mwita, and Christopher Ochieng’.
Ohaga critiqued the club's decision-making process in the termination of these players, highlighting the lack of evidence to support the club's claim of poor performance.
