Wow,,,I really feel sportpesa did nothing wrong,,i mean with a company like that in our country that even supported local sports in a way that Safaricom will never get to,,,So sad how kenyan leaders just get jealous and they are already rich😢😢

[@s.arunda1225]

The presence of the Bulgarian mafia is what caused the government to react. Remember countries share intelligence reports, and the activities of the mafia caught the attention of EU governments. The Kenya government had to react to maintain diplomatic ties. Wathika's mysterious demise has never been resolved and it was directly connected to the Bulgarians.

[@ob1tomi]

Very informative. There seems to be a trend of entrepreneurs coming up with a good idea & then politically connected people swoop in after sabotaging the idea through regulations & laws. This is what holds back growth in Kenya by killing innovation. ...... LI-CEnse not LINE-cense we seem to have a problem with this word despite our mastery of the English language.

[@CallmeLewis]

Wah...this is detailed. Yaani Kenyatta family is the one behind it???

[@nyamburanjengah5797]

I always say this family is the genesis of all kenyan problems.

[@ipetert5372]

Kenya govt must not let such Mafia scam Kenyans again. Lottery must have Govt involved so money can go to schools and roads. Betting isn't a biz activity but just pure gambling. The formula for casino gambling: probability of winning is a negative number so we have many losers. Sports pesa from a poverty stricken nation sponsoring teams all over the world was its biggest mistake. Patriotism matters

[@shemnyaka]

Wathika misused his powers during his time as a mayor. How can you wake up one morning and clear all gaming boths and later replace with competitor...And God knows how to deal with injustice...and you know later how he lost his political seat .. however it seems his business partners had something to do with his demise.

Sportpesa is still the biggest in kenya in betting industry,2024

[@slaviantoothpaste]

It was a great app. Win or lose, it functioned perfectly. But everyone knows when a particular name gets involved in that business, the business crumbles. Also during the “crackdown” on gambling in Kenya, you remember ‘that’ speech at a wedding…iykyk 😂 Dear Africans, if you start succeeding, the government is not your friend.

[@simonshivaji7425]

Correction. Neither Gene Grand, Gerro nor Wathika formed Pevans East Africa Ltd (PEAL). They bought from the same founder of Lotto. This same person who founded PEAL , together with Capt Karauri, currently controls 84% of the Company that operates Sportpesa. Also Paul Wanderi Ndungu voluntarily resigned as Chairman and Director of Pevans.

[@STORIESFROMKENYA]

Are you confusing PEAL and the current owners Milestone games LTD? How is it a correction when you haven't shared anything, "They bought from the same founder of Lotto. This same person who founded PEAL ," which person?
