Kenya Premier League (KPL) has officially announced the postponement of the league due to coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday KPL officials released a circular that follows the government directive.
It read in part: “other control measures put in place to curb the virus”, the league body will convene a shareholders’ meeting to decide the way forward.
“Once the pandemic has been contained and the Kenya Government confirms lifting of the curfew and other control measures put in place to curb the virus, KPL will convene a KPL shareholders meeting/Governing Council to decide the best way forward that will be good for the integrity of the competition and the clubs and after thoroughly looking at all available options and the pros and cons for each option.”
“Regarding the KPL players and their contracts, individual clubs will discuss the situation with their players on the way forward during the interim period that the current league is suspended.
The top flight league, as well as other sports activities, remain suspended following a government directive issued more than three weeks ago, in measures aimed at containing the virus.
