KPL clubs to pay referees? Kenyan football in a sad state – Aduda

Gor Mahia CEO Omondi Aduda has admitted Kenyan football is in a sad state of affairs after Kenyan Premier League (KPL) Limited ordered clubs to pay matchday officials.

The decision was reached after the KPL governing council meeting also confirmed the league will go on as planned and will not stop because of lacking a sponsor.

KPL CEO Jack Oguda confirmed to Goal on Thursday all the 18 clubs will be required to pay the match referees until they secure a sponsor.
