'Please President Kenyatta, reconsider sports suspension order' - Ex-Gor Mahia star Okoth

Former Gor Mahia and Sofapaka striker Ronald Okoth has urged the government to take measures that will allow the suspension of sports activities in Kenya to be lifted.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, during his 15th national address on the coronavirus, suspended all sports in the country, and the Kenya Premier League winner has cited reasons why the latest move is detrimental to football.

"I wish to express my deepest worries and concerns over our current clubs, academies, former and active footballers future that could become uncertain with football being among the contact sports that remain suspended," the former Mathare United striker said in a statement obtained by Goal.
