FIFA orders Gor Mahia to pay former goalkeeper more millions

However, they did not follow the right channel and the veteran goalkeeper, who had already reported the club to FIFA for breach of contract returned to the world football governing body with more claims.##NAJAVA_MECA_6853967##Prior to that, the club had been ordered to pay the keeper Kes. 1,011,750 plus interest accrued over breach of contract after they failed to honor their end of the bargain in January, February, March, April, May, and June 2022.
