Former Gor Mahia forward, Dan Makori, disclosed how stakeholders work together to fix matches, particularly in the Kenyan football industry.
In an interview on NTV, Makori claimed that match-fixing is usually not a one-man affair. He alleged that matches could be fixed in Kenya in many ways.

"They normally don't look on a single player because it depends on the team's strengths. When they want to concede, they will talk to the goalkeeper.
"When they do not want to score, they must talk to the striker. It is also vital to talk to the best player in the team or the one who works very hard.
"Generally, you can't use one person in a team cause definitely, they would lose. Sometimes, they would try to use three or four players," he explained.
The Moi University alumni further divulged that match-fixing is not done by footballers only.
"And then it is not only the players alone. Match-fixing happens even to the club officials. They can approach a CEO who lacks integrity.
"The CEO is the owner of the team, he can just call the coach and tell him to try what he can for them to lose the match. So anybody can fix a match, they just don't use the players alone," commented Makori.
He added that match-fixers target Kenyan players because they know the challenges they regularly face, including sometimes going for months without pay.
His revelations come when there have been numerous match-fixing allegations in the Kenya Premier League (KPL).
Recently, two Mathare United players were suspended by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) for allegedly engaging in the vice.
Moreover, Nairobi City Stars CEO Patrick Korir, accused the referee of match-fixing during their narrow loss to Bandari United at the Mbaraki Stadium a few weeks ago.
