I did that on Sunday and he’s getting Ksh 83 million a year. Well, it is not about the money it is about the passion of what you want to do, to the parents who are here you have a son or daughter who wants to sing, become a fashion designer support them,” said Mulee.When Olunga first made the move to Qatari side Al Duhail, reports emerged that he was earning an annual salary of Ksh80 million following his €6 million (Ksh756,000,000) move.

I remember one of my players in Uganda who was giving a vote of thanks and he said, ‘I want to thank the government of Uganda and the people of Uganda for their hostility,” added Mulee.##EDITORS_CHOICE##
