The money, Kahawa Tungu has learnt was paid directly to the players after the Kenya Rugby Union (KRU), misappropriated funds meant for the players in the London series, prompting the champions to conceal Brand Kenya message.

Word had it that KRU was forcing the players to sign an apology letter in order to receive their allowances.
