Former Tusker midfielder Apollo Otieno is unhappy with his current team, Tanzanian Premier League side Dodoma Jiji, over unpaid dues.Otieno joined Dodoma Jiji from KCB FC during the January transfer window, after impressing in the Bankers’ midfield and catching the attention of the Tanzanian club.##NAJAVA_MECA_8318849##A source close to the player revealed to Mozzart Sport that there are issues between Otieno and the club regarding unpaid sign-on fees.”They said they would pay his sign-on fees in two installments: first when he signed in mid-season, and secondly before the new season. He has not received the second payment, even though they have already played two matches,” said the source.Since the club reported for pre-season over a month ago, Otieno has been following up on the matter without success.”He has been following up since pre-season, but they have not yet paid him. They keep saying they are working on it.”The frustrated player allegedly followed up with the club management while on duty and was assured that the payment had been made, only to find no change in his bank account.”Last week, while in Mwanza playing against Pamba Jiji, an official told him that the payment had been made and that he would receive the remaining amount. However, it has now been two weeks, and he is yet to receive anything,” added the source.The former Sony Sugar player now feels shortchanged by the club and is considering taking legal action if the payment is not made soon.”He feels like they are playing games with him since they were supposed to pay him two weeks ago but didn’t. Last week they took him in circles, and this week is also coming to an end.”We reached out to Otieno, who confirmed the issue but declined to comment further.Depleted Harambee Stars tackle Zimbabwe in pivotal AFCON 2025 qualifying opener
