Range Marwa, who hit headlines on mainstream stations and publications recently following revelations that he would officiate the World Cup, is seen in a room receiving the cash.

The footage is part of an upcoming investigative piece by controversial Ghanaian journalist Anas Aremeyaw aimed at blowing the lid off the rot in world football. 

These devastating revelations will come as a rude shock to the vast majority of football-loving Kenyans who were delighted by the news that a Kenyan referee would be part of the World Cup in Russia.

Mr Marwa is yet to respond to the devastating, career-threatening revelations that have taken many by surprise, coming just days to the World Cup.

He is a teacher at a secondary school.

Anas had warned in an interview with the BBC that the investigative piece would cause trouble and send shockwaves across the football world.

FIFA has long been plagued by allegations of corruption involving millions of dollars.
