Victor Odhiambo hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what KCB can pretend not to have heard.

Kakamega Homeboyz come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and KCB did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

KCB bid $210.0K for Alvin Mangeni
The offer went to Kenya Police this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Kakamega Homeboyz take the points off KCB
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Amos Kipkirui steps up from the KCB academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Amos Kipkirui has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

A falling-out at KCB
Yafeesi Mubiru and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
Kevin Ayumba answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

In brief
- Looking ahead December Kisakah goes back to face Posta Rangers
- Squad Jack Onganya, 20, gets his chance
- The dugout Yafeesi Mubiru does not fit this one
