With the dispute pitting Football Kenya Federation and the Kenyan Premier League over the composition of the Sportpesa Premier League still unresolved, former FKF president, Sam Nyamweya has offered his advise to the two differing parties. Nyamweya, whose regime’s attempt to expand the top flight league in 2013 was vehemently opposed by KPL, vouched for an 18-team league but said the manner the federation was going about it was undermining efforts for expansion. “Personally, I support the federation in their quest to expand the league, something that I believe KPL has accepted as inevitable. But determining which teams are promoted and which ones are relegated is the biggest bone of contention and both KPL and FKF must sit together and find a common ground on the matter,” opined Nyamweya. They are not cast on stone and should not be implemented to the detriment of sporting merit and football clubs,” remarked Nyamweya.
