Former Kenyan Premier League side Nairobi City Stars has been bought by Jonathan Jackson Foundation who will now be the team’s chairman.
He replaces Peter Jabuya who has been at the helm of the club for a decade. Patrick Korir a re-known Sports Journalist takes over the Chief Executive role as Francis Kamau is Chief finance officers.
The side has had several financial challenges which led to their relegation in 2016.
The deal comes a time when Nairobi City Stars will have to do without the services of coach John Amboko on the touchline for their remaining matches of the season.
This follows a decision by Football Kenya Federation’s Leagues and Competitions Committee to impose a 90-day suspension on the coach, as well as players Austine Ochieng and Ronny Kagunzi, after the three were found guilty of violent conduct on match officials during their FKF National Super League match against Kenya Police played on April 17, 2019, at the Karuturi Grounds.
Kenya Police was further awarded all three points from the abandoned match, which was tied at 1-1 at the time of abandonment.
