FKF Premier League club KCB FC faces escalating legal battles as former striker Erick Maina plans to seek a court order to auction the club’s assets.Maina and KCB have been in court since 2020, when he first filed a case with the Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT), demanding a release letter from the club.On March 19, 2024, the SDT ruled in Maina’s favour, ordering KCB to pay him Ksh970,000 for breach of contract.##NAJAVA_MECA_84570347##KCB challenged the decision, but on September 10, a bench led by Justice Elynah Shiveka upheld the SDT’s ruling, barring KCB from further appeals in the case.After the ruling, Maina told Mozzart Sport that he contacted the club, notifying them of the decision and requesting payment, but the club has yet to respond within the 45-day period.Now, Maina intends to seek High Court orders to either auction KCB’s property or freeze its bank accounts to recover his dues.”After the judgment, I emailed them (KCB), but they have not responded.
