Murkomen said he was supporting Gor Mahia while Propesa went the Everton Way.
Everton would the thrash Gor 4-0 to clinch the SportPesa cup.
Propesa had said that if Gor Mahia won, he would supply game kits and balls to five schools of Murkomen’s choice.
“I want us to have a bet with you Mheshimiwa, if Everton wins I want you to choose ten schools where you will take balls to develop young talents,” Propesa said.
However, after the defeat, Murkomen backtracked his promise stating that he was coerced.
Murkomen said that Propesa had ambushed him in a hotel and had not given him time to think through.
“You ambushed me in a restaurant and you mobilised people and you purported to have agreed with me in some bet, I want to make it clear that I am talking to my lawyers,” he said.
