Kenyans took their anger to denounce the expose, from their tweets, it is no doubt that some of the posts were siding with the referee’s corrupt allegations.
I concur with you, Aden Marwa is doing better to our economy too for earning it $600 in foreign exchange…

Now that Aden Marwa has hit the headlines, he should vie for an MCA.

If the Ksh. 60,000 Aden Marwa received is a bribe then he should be taken to Kamiti for LIFE. Locally we are stealing Billions at NYS and NCPB then you embarrass us by taking 60k bribe abroad? Hapana.
