Zoo FC head coach Herman Iswekha has implored the Football Kenya Federation Caretaker Committee to fast track the remittance of the Ksh 250,000 monthly grant promised to National Super League clubs to avert the possibility of clubs dishing walkover when the competition resumes.The committee appointed last month by the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and Heritage Amina Mohamed promised the wire at least a quarter million to second tier clubs with their counterparts from the top tier getting an additional one hundred thousand.The same was also promised to clubs plying trade in the Women’s Premier League clubs and the division one but none is yet to receive the money ahead of the resumption of the competitions after the Christmas break.National Super League clubs revolt against Aaron Ringera’s FKF Caretaker CommitteeIswekha lifted the lid on the tight budgets the second tier clubs were operating on the challenges players were facing as their employers have not been in a position to pay decent salaries and allowances. The league is set to resume on January 8.Last week, Kisumu All Stars threatened to give their away tie to Fortune Sacco a wide berth due to scarcity of funds but as soon as their plight was made public, they managed to pool resources and honored the match.Aggrieved clubs advised to formally complain to FKF Caretaker Committee”Unless the committee releases the money they had promised to teams this week, I foresee a situation where a host of teams will give walkovers. Clubs in the second tier travel a lot and thus it is expensive to sustain a team especially if you don’t have a shirt sponsor.I urge the committee to move with speed and release the funds so as seal any loophole for the occurrence of a walkover, “he cried.NSL: Iswekha concerned with Zoo’s leaking defenceIswekha in the meantime regretted that majority of his players had deserted club duties in search for allowances in the festive season tournament that are currently underway in Western Kenya. ” It is difficult for me to have quorum in training as most of my players have fled to Western in search of allowances from the tournaments that are being held there. They would not have thought of deserting club duties had we had money to pay them,” he rued.
