Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has welcomed the return of betting firm SportPesa into the Kenyan market.
The betting firm was pumping into Kenyan football over Sh5 million but was among 27 betting firms that had their trading licenses revoked by the government due to the failure in meeting tax compliance policies in July 2019.
But on Friday, SportPesa confirmed their return to the Kenyan market under a new license, something that has left football stakeholders and gamblers praising the new move.
