The salary, according to the player, made him nicknamed after a politician.
Former Gor Mahia player Bramwel Karamoja has claimed his salary at the Football Kenya Federation Premier League club was lower than what he got as a cyber cafe attendant.
Ironically, Karamoja said his financial status was higher and that his teammates depended on him. He was nicknamed Stanley Livondo. Livondo is a Kenyan politician who is believed to be very rich.
"My first formal employment was as an I.T. Consultant at Mediawise Company at Tumaini," Karamoja said in a post on Facebook.
"This basically translated to a Cyber Cafe assistant, but in life you have to use big titles to look like you are a serious person.

FKFPL ‘Leave’ – Former Gor Mahia treasurer Sally Bolo tells head coach McKinstry
The former official feels it is time for the Northern Irish tactician to terminate his contract.
"I used to earn 4,000/-, which was still more than what Gor Mahia used to pay me at that time, including bonuses.
"I was doing just fine because I could balance work and Football. My teammates at Gor Mahia used to look up to me, they used to call me Livondo because they thought I had money like a seasoned politician."
Karamoja said the introduction of a double training session made it difficult for him to juggle his football and other businesses.
"James Siang'a introduced double training sessions. We used to train at the Nairobi school from 9 a.m., and we could finish at 12 p.m., go for lunch, and gather again at around 3 p.m.," he added.

FOOTBALL McKinstry upbeat despite Gor Mahia bleep in the title race, ready for ‘cup final’
Uganda Cranes striker Patrick Kaddu had opened the scoring for the hosts just eleven minutes into the game.
"This made it so difficult for me to balance work and football because at least I used to get something from my I.T. expertise, so I had to choose between football and real work."
The retired footballer attributed K’Ogalo’s recent success to the former coach.
"By the way, the success Gor Mahia have enjoyed in the recent past is all credited to Siang'a," he concluded.
"That man had a plan and vision for K’Ogalo. He had the right template. He was a good man, and I had mad respect for him.
"I stopped attending training and slowly got out of the team, but the Ksh4,000 was also not enough to sustain me in Nairobi, so I went to Dubai to look for greener pastures."
After going down to Kakamega Hoemboyz, Gor Mahia’s focus is on the next crucial game against the Nairobi City Stars.
