Reinstated Football Kenya Federation has postponed two matches on the opening day of Kenya Premier League matches this weekend.
Today, the federation’s CEO Barry Otieno said that they are adhering to an injunction by the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) for nullifying last season’s leagues where they had stopped the promotion or relegation of teams to the FKF-PL, Women’s Premier League, National Super League and Division One
The matches that have been affected by the stay order that was issued on Wednesday by the SDT chairman John Ohaga are Posta Rangers FC against Mathare United and Vihiga Bullets versus Wazito FC.
“The federation is in receipt of an order from the Sports Disputes Tribunal staying the decision by the FKF National Committee on promotion and relegation on the just concluded league season,” said FKF Secretary General Barry Otieno in a statement.
“Consequently, the following matches that have been affected by the said order have been postponed; Posta Rangers FC v Mathare United FC and Vihiga Bullets vs Wazito FC. Further be advised that all other FKF-PL matches which have not been affected by the order will take place as scheduled.”
Administration Police Service (APS) Bomet and Kona Rangers filed a petition at the SDT protesting the FKF’s decision to deny them promotion to FKF-PL and NSL respectively after topping their respective divisions.
