Wizara ya Michezo iliahidi kumlipa kocha huyo mshahara lakini ilipoulizwa imesema malipo yatafanyika hivi karibuni.

Super Eagles coach, Peseiro owed six months salary by NFF
Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro has not received his salary for the past six months.
The salary owed the Portuguese is $420,000 in total.
The former Saudi Arabia and Venezuela coach was appointed in May 2022 on a monthly pay of $70,000.
Nigeria’s sports minister, Sunday Dare, stated that the government would take full responsibility for the payment of the gaffer’s salary when he took charge of the Super Eagles.
According to respected journalist, Osasu Obayiwana, who was a former member of the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), anti- racism task force, Peseiro has not been paid for the last six month.
Peseiro, according to the former BBC reporter has already complained to FIFA about his unpaid wages.
Under current FIFA laws, the former Porto coach can unilaterally terminate his contract, without prejudice, and will have to be paid in full.
The NFF are currently paying off the backlog of outstanding salaries of former Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr after unilaterally terminating his contract last December.

Jose Peseiro: Nigeria coach's salary goes unpaid since taking charge
Jose Peseiro, the coach of Nigeria's national football team, has not received a single pay cheque from his employers, six months after being appointed to lead the Super Eagles.
The 62-year-old, who took charge of the team in May, has however yet to make an official complaint to Nigeria's Football Federation (NFF) about the non-payment of his salary.
In response, the financially stricken NFF, which receives its funding from the country's government, says it has come up with a plan on how to settle the arrears.
The NFF already owes money to the Portuguese's predecessor, Gernot Rohr, and to players from its national teams.
"We've heard from Mr Peseiro's representatives that he only received his allowances and bonuses, which is very disturbing," a prominent NFF official told BBC Sport Africa on Tuesday.
"His salary is being paid by the Sports Ministry but we've quickly made an alternative arrangement, in conjunction with the Ministry, to sort the salary payments this week."
Nigeria's sports ministry, which took on the responsibility to pay Peseiro, has blamed the delay on processes for receiving funds from the federal government. A special adviser to sports minister Sunday Dare says the coach will be paid "very soon".
"The issue of Peseiro's payment will be resolved soon with the understanding of the federation and the coach," Toyin Ibitoye told the BBC.
"Everything is being worked on and we are quite confident that very soon it will be sorted."
Since missing out on a place at the 2022 World Cup in Africa's play-offs in March, Nigeria have won their only two competitive games under Peseiro, who previously led Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.
The Super Eagles beat Sierra Leone 2-1 and thrashed Sao Tome e Principe 10-0 to ensure a perfect start in qualifying as they seek a spot at the next Africa Cup of Nations Cup in Ivory Coast, scheduled to be held in early 2024.
