• Individuals involved in match-fixing could face jail time and a fine of up to Sh1 million.

• Penalties also include a lifetime ban from sporting competitions and regulated gaming, aiming to protect the integrity of sports and athletes' careers.

KCB Rugby coach Andrew Amonde will not contest his dismissal from the Kenya Sevens technical team, choosing instead to focus on his club duties.

• Amonde was terminated from his role as strength and conditioning coach for Shujaa due to a conflict of interest clause preventing national team coaches from holding club positions.
• Despite the "unfortunate" exit after two years with the national team, Amonde stated, "rugby is a sport played on the field and not in the courts."
• His increased availability is expected to benefit KCB Rugby, who are currently leading the National Sevens Circuit standings after winning the Kabeberi Sevens.
