Barely a month after Dennis Oliech bagged a multi-million shilling deal with a popular betting company that paid him Sh10M, there is a new millionaire in town who has denied the former Harambee Stars skipper his bragging rights. He is none other than Martin Sikuku Wekesa.

The coastal-based former referee has been awarded Sh20M by a Mombasa Law Court,  in compensation for loss of "conjugal rights" following a suit filed against Football Kenya Federation four years ago.

Wekesa had his private parts injured during a past FKF Division 1 league derby, pitting traditional arch rivals Sparki Youth and Admiral that was played at Tudor Grounds on September 22nd, 2013.

In a landmark  ruling delivered  before a fully packed court by Senior Mombasa Resident Magistrate Irene Ruguru  today morning, the court found the Kenyan Football Association negligent for appointing the plaintiff to officiate the match in an unsafe environment without any perimeter wall, ambulance and adequate security.

The match was abandoned two minutes to time when Sparki Deputy coach Daudi Kajembe led irate fans in protesting a red card awarded to their player. They invaded the pitch and squeezed the referees private parts leaving him for the dead. Wekesa filed a suit against Kenyan FA president  Sam Nyameya as the first respondent, demanding Sh20M in compensation from the federation for his expensive medical bills and the problems the assault has caused him and his wife, Mary.

The doctor’s evidence  revealed that  Wekesa suffered permanent incapacity and could no longer enjoy his conjugal rights following extensive damage to his sexual organs. The plaintiff’s wife, shocked the court when she testified that she had not had s*x with her husband for four years since the injury occurred.
