Bandari FC’s assets facing auction in compensation standoff

Auctioneers are planning to do away with several movable assets belonging to Bandari FC to recover funds owed to four former members of the club’s technical bench.This follows a court ruling in favor of the former staff members, who were unlawfully dismissed.##NAJAVA_MECA_8284465##The four—Daniel Mshamba, Wilson Obungu Oburu, David King’atua, and Kenneth Onyach—were let go in 2023 as part of sweeping changes at Bandari FC. The club had disbanded its entire board and technical bench in an effort to improve performance after a disappointing 2022-23 season.The dismissed quartet subsequently filed a case with the Mombasa Labour and Employment Court, which ruled that Bandari FC had breached their contracts and ordered compensation. Oburu was awarded Ksh 65,015, Mshamba Ksh 593,700, King’atua Ksh 461,545, and Onyach Ksh 409,645.Despite the court’s ruling, Bandari FC has not complied with the order. As a result, the four, represented by Wambilianga Majani Associates Advocates, sought and obtained court orders to auction the club’s property to recover the owed amounts.Michael Olunga on whether he will become a coach after retirementThe auction, managed by Anfield Auctioneers, is expected to proceed after the proclamation by the auctioneers matures on Tuesday, August 27th.The assets listed for auction include a backup generator, treadmills, dumbbells, sport spinning bikes, rollers, cardio equipment, weight machines, boilers, microwaves, fridges, office desks and chairs, computers, motor vehicles, and more.This case is not the only legal issue Bandari FC faces. In April, the Sports Disputes Tribunal ordered the club to pay at least Ksh 8 million to players Douglas Mokaya, Faraj Ominde, Zakayo Keegan, Felix Oluoch, Johana Mwita, and Christopher Ochieng’ for unfair termination.One of the players subsequently obtained a garnishee order to prevent the club from moving funds from its account, aiming to enforce the payment.
