Namwamba has slammed 20-time FKFPL champions Gor Mahia for a number of reasons, including going to train in a Tanzanian club “born the other day”.
Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba has asked Kenyan football clubs to become more transparent, accountable, and have good governance, slamming Gor Mahia for multiple reasons, including their decision to go train at Tanzanian side Azam FC’s training grounds.

FOOTBALL FKF Premier League clubs to pocket whopping millions each per season in landmark KBC broadcast deal
Historic sponsorship deal between FKF Premier League and KBC promises substantial financial boost, transforming Kenyan football's future.
“If there is something that is holding Kenyan football back, it is those three factors. That extends to clubs. I can assure clubs, that if you are transparent and accountable and have good governance, you are sitting on golden mines.
“All of you football clubs, you are sitting on golden mines. Stop treating your clubs as your little fiefdoms for your self-aggrandizement. Unleash the full potential that is locked in your clubs. Be accountable, be transparent about every resource that is coming to you and run your clubs as co-oporate entities.”
Namwamba aimed a brutal dig at Gor Mahia and the transparency and poor governance related issues that have put them into relatively unwanted predicaments.
“The Tanzanians are doing it across the border. Tanzanian football could not hold the candle to Kenyan football just a few years ago. Now we are using them as a benchmark, like seriously?
