It will be the second time 'Otenga' have handed a walkover this season, after they forfeited their meeting with Murang'a Seal in March.

Kisumu All Stars have been forced to dish out their second walk-over of the season away to Mwatate United, the club has announced on their Facebook page.

Otenga were due to take on Mwatate at the Wundayi Stadium in Taita Taveta on Wednesday afternoon, but due to reasons yet to be revealed, they have decided not to honor the fixture.

The last time the side handed a walkover was in March when they failed to show up at St. Sebastian Park against Murang’a Seal.

The former top-flight side has not shied from appealing to fans, stakeholders, and well-wishers to come to their aid by donating finances to help them honor matches with their financial issues being well documented.

In March, the Andrew Aroka-coached side came up with an online payment method aimed at raising money to cater for the travel and logistics costs that the team would have incurred in traveling to Murang’a.

In May, the club announced that they were asking for well wishers to help them raise money for fuel because they were stuck in Kajiado in the aftermath of their match against Kajiado FC where they lost 2-0.

The walkover now means that All Stars are 10th on 32 points, 18 behind third-placed Migori Youth, and have failed to gather a point in any of their last four fixtures.
