Sources have revealed that Marwa who was to become the first Kenyan to have been appointed by FIFA as a Referee in FIFA World Cup 2018 has been removed after accepting a paltry $600 (Kshs. 60,000/=) bribe from Anas Aremeyaw Anas, Ghana’s fabled incognito Investigative Journalist.

Marwa has in the past represented Kenya in the global showpiece despite the Harambee Stars missing out, in 2014 Marwa played the role of a linesman and fourth official in the World Cup tournament in Brazil and has also referee in high profile games in Africa.

Marwa also serves as a Chemistry teacher at Komotobo high school in Kuria East.

The graft allegations have led to his ouster and Kenyans are not proud about the saddening development.

When Rwanda 🇷🇼 is winning big with @Arsenal T-shirt sponsorship #VisitRwanda & no one from Rwanda was called for @FIFAWorldCup as ref, in Kenya Aden Marwa just pickpocketed Ksh.60,000/- useless money yet to be taxed by KRA collectors. Like where do we go from here now?— Bobby Vj (@BobbyVjoe) June 7, 2018.

Classic Kenyans.— SIRE® (@SIR3_) June 7, 2018.The Journalist who smoked out Aden Marwa should receive HSC, citizenship and work for the State House, Nairobi.— Elijah Ogaya (@AgarElijah) June 7, 2018.Aden Marwa was entitled to a retainer of $25k (Sh2.5 Million) and an additional $2k (Sh200k) for every match. He's now blown it has taken a $600 (Sh.60k) bribe— Yes I Ken (@KenMacharia_) June 7, 2018.Now we know what kills Kenyan football. Corruption in all sectors of football. Aden Marwa is just the tip of the iceberg.— INCREDIBLY TERRIBLE (@allen_arnold) June 7, 2018.600 USD is not even enough for an air ticket from Russia, Aden Marwa under-represented Kenyans and I am so annoyed, he should come watch NYS news to learn.— Salome (@Salomelugard) June 7, 2018.If the Ksh. 60,000 Aden Marwa received is a bribe then he should be taken to Kamiti for LIFE. Locally we are stealing Billions at NYS and NCPB then you embarrass us by taking 60k bribe abroad? Hapana.— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) June 7, 2018.Sad that Kenyan FIFA referee Aden Marwa has had to pull out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.I have reviewed Anas’s footage (Ghanaian undercover reporter) of the alleged bribe-taking and I honestly think as journo, the method used by him to news gather leaves a lot to be desired.— Odeo Sirari (@OdeoSirari) June 7, 2018.Why did the investigating journalist do this to our Aden Marwa? It doesn't add up at all, so FIFA decided to set up Aden And eliminate him from World cup lol.FIFA would have tested all the referees then release official reports, not just targeting one Black Referee.SO SAD— Dennis Nyambane™ (@ItsNyambane) June 7, 2018.Congratulations Aden Marwa for representing GOK well in world cup. You did what anyone else would have done ✅.— Dennis Nyambane™ (@ItsNyambane) June 7, 2018.
