Shitiabayi has told Goal that the ruling is the best the country was expecting asserting that if the body continues with the same focus, Kenya will finally never experience any football wrangles.
“We are happy of the ruling and we really appreciate their contribution towards healthy sporting behavior in Kenya. Such ruling is a landmark in football and the tribunal has shown interest in Kenyan football and we anticipate that if they continue with the same spirit then the football wrangles are going to end.”
