Shimanyula: KPL clubs have been compromised to support FKF in court case

Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has openly claimed some clubs in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) have been comprised to throw their weight behind Football Kenya Federation (FKF) in the case challenging their decision to end the 2019-20 campaign.

The Federation moved to end the top-flight owing to effects caused by the coronavirus pandemic and declared Gor Mahia the champions while promoting Nairobi City Stars and Bidco United from the National Super League (NSL).

However, the move was strongly protested by KPL, who maintained they were once mandated to run the league and hence supposed to declare the state of the league, and in the process moved to court in a joint suit with Chemelil Sugar, who by virtue of the FKF decision had been relegated.
