Pheko Phago 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.

Fadhili Mwinyimvua keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” KCB may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Only the photograph left for Fadhili Mwinyimvua

Successful dribbles: 15. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.
In brief
- Squad Caleb Ouma stays put

- Boardroom Belts tighten at KCB
