Mwachiro urges Kenya government to consider women players in next stimulus

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) presidential aspirant Herbert Mwachiro has urged the government to consider women footballers and match officials in their next stimulus.

The Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed announced the release of Sh20 million from the Sports Fund to help some players plying trade in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL).

Players and five officials from specified top tier teams will receive Sh10,000 monthly amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

"It is important to ensure that women premier league players are also taken care of in the stimulus, as well as their colleagues who play in lower tiers as well as the referees," Mwachiro told Goal on Friday.
