Coronavirus: Caf wanted to know fate of KPL, not the champion - Okoth

The official claims the FKF went overboard in deciding to cancel the league when Africa's football-governing body had not asked so

The Kenyan Premier League (KPL) chief operations and logistics officer Frank Okoth has come out strong to oppose the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) move to cancel the leagues.

Citing the Caf letter to all member associations which asked each country to respond on how they intend to carry on with their leagues after the coronavirus pandemic, Okoth says the FKF went overboard by cancelling the league and declaring champions.

The FKF also promoted and relegated teams across the leagues in the country on Thursday, citing the prolonged Covid-19 issue as the main reason for doing so.
