"My friend, a lawyer sent his warm greetings over the weekend Mr Mulee. And by the way he told me that he learnt through the interwebs that you racked in approximately Sh38Million from Michael Olunga's sale to the moneyed Asian league. Is it true my friend? " Gidi asked his co-host catching him by surprise.
"I haven't neither received nor seen seen a cent of the said millions, guys are quick to spread rumors without even taking time to understand our expenses at Liberty sports academy where Olunga's talent was nurtured. Said the former Harambee Stars coach who is the Liberty academy technical director.
People are busy claiming I have received the money and all I can do is laugh it off. People should understand how these things work it's not as easy as it may seem. Said Ghost before revealing how he has had a tough time dealing with friends and fans who want a piece of the cake.
"Some have been flooding my phone with text messages asking 'Ghost can I order a few rounds at my local on your bill'? "
