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.
However, the players travelled back to Kakamega without the trophy as Shimanyula brought it back to the town privately.
This exasperated Ambani who believes the players should have been given “a hero's welcome”, instead coming back “as if they were attending a funeral” with no fanfare.
“Kakamega Homeboyz chairman takes off with the trophy after the win in Nairobi, and leaves players to travel without the coveted trophy back home. Hizi ni gani sasa?” Ambani rhetorically asked on his Facebook page.
“Heroes can't be celebrated in this style…Homeboyz players arrive the next day (today) coldly in town as if they did nothing. No welcoming party at hand for the boys. Jamani do these leaders in football know what it feels for players to arrive home in pomp and colour after winning a trophy?

The strike marked the midfielder's second goal of the season and halted his team's six-game winless run.
“It's the first silverware for the Kakamega-based side and residents were expecting a real welcoming party for the boys. Eiiiiiiih yaaawa.... Seriously?”
Ambani further added that the business tycoon should have hired a group of Isikuti dancers who would then have attracted the whole town into joining in the pomp.

FKFPL: Matano makes tough demands after losing two trophies within a week
Quizzed about the next chapter, Matano appeared to suggest he would be staying in order to help the club win more trophies.
“To the boys congratulations I know what you feel. I have been there. Poleni. Toto you only needed to pay around 50 riders and the entire town will be lit. You only need sukuti dancers and the rest (of the town) would join (in celebrations). Vijana wanaingia Kakamega kama wametoka Kwa Matanga bwaana!”
Homeboyz upset all the odds to lift the trophy last Saturday, slaying Gor Mahia, Tusker, and AFC Leopards en route to winning their first-ever piece of silverware since being founded in 2010.
