FOOTBALL Shimanyula slams foreign dependency as Kakamega Homeboyz clinch historic FKF Cup title
Homeboyz enjoyed a proper run to the cup, slaying giants like Gor Mahia, AFC Leopards and Tusker along the way.
Shimanyula has formed a reputation for being bullish ahead of the club’s games against “giant” opposition, and Kamura explains how he motivated the side to the cup win.
“Shimanyula is a tycoon. Before he says something, he usually always motivates us beforehand. He calculates everything to the letter. Do not think that when he speaks to the media to challenge other teams, he has not sorted things out behind the scenes.

The strike marked the midfielder's second goal of the season and halted his team's six-game winless run.
“The chairman is very passionate about this team. He is a straight-thinker and wants what is best for the side. He will never forget this trophy and I am optimistic it is the first of many.
“He started this team in 2010. Many years ago. He goes out of his way to ensure everything is sorted out and that no one goes on strike. We got a sponsor very recently as well which goes to show the efforts he had been making before. This is a reward by God to him.”
