However they have been actively recruiting experienced players including former Gor Mahia players Wycliff Kasaya, Chris Wekesa and Donald Mosoti. They also have former AFC Leopards ace Martin Imbalambala. Thanks to their experienced players, Nakumatta have eliminated two KPL teams: Nairobi City Stars and SoNy Sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Nakumatt are therfore no pushovers. Their key player is Peter Nzuki who has scored 10 goals this season as well as a number of other former KPL players: Kevin Thairu and john Njoroge.<\/p>\n<p>Gor Mahia fans will be hoping thatthe issue of unpaid dues is settled.
