Coronavirus: Mwendwa stopped KPL to protect Kariobangi Sharks from relegation - Shimanyula

Nick Mwendwa moved to end the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) so as to save Kariobangi Sharks from imminent relegation, Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula has said.

Mwendwa has always been associated with Kariobangi Sharks who struggled during the course of the suspended season and Shimanyula claims the move to prematurely end KPL was motivated by the need to save the club.

Kariobangi Sharks are 12th on the table with 20 points after 22 matches and had conceded 32 goals which is the fourth-worst record in the top-tier.
