Mixed reactions on plans to resume local league action
Jun 5, 2020
The announcement by Kenyan Premier League management that it plans to start the league has elicited mixed reactions from football clubs.
KPL plans to resume the league once they get the go ahead from the government despite the Football Kenya Federation's (FKF) decision to end the 2019/20 season.
If a decision is made and the league resumes, KPL has to ensure all clubs adhere to the new Fifa measures.
Fifa released regulations on how football activities should resume in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic and KPL has circulated the same to all clubs urging them to familiarise with the protocols.
The decision has been met with a lot of resistance from Kisumu All Stars and Western Stima management.
All Stars CEO Nicholas Ochieng said they are not ready financially and physically after releasing all the players following FKF's communication that the season was over.

“We received communication from FKF that the league is over and we followed the directive and released all the players until further notice.
“Financially we cannot. Most of the new Fifa rules all clubs will have to adhere to means money which for us, a county government-sponsored club, has to be budgeted for and approved at the beginning of the season,” he said.
