Bravo to Bullets. However it looks that things are going backwards. FAM+SULOM getting 55% while the teams getting a mere 37.7%. This is daylight robbery by FAM+SULOM. No wonder this Nyamilandu had to rig the FAM elections. The statement from Mr Somba only talks about how much the teams got. Nothing about how much FAM+SULOM got (K231million). No explanation as to how they used this money. Meanwhile the Flames were begging for money each time there was a game. FAM+SULOM owe the teams an explanation. Otherwise the teams should get 55% and SULOM+FAM should get 37.7%.
True. Fam and sulom are getting too much. How are the teams supposed to survive? Look at what Max bullets received? Peanuts!
BB ndi akatundu omanga ndi mawaya
Now individual teams should submit their reports as well. I hope they have responsible management who can do that.
Bullets should negotiate a bigger cut they always command a large crowd and in the meantime other teams, sulom, Fam, Govt and ground owners benefit from bullets as well….
