Polack: Why it will be difficult for Kenya to resume league like in Europe

Gor Mahia coach Steven Polack has explained why the 2019-20 Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season cannot be played to the end.

While Football Kenya Federation (FKF) moved to end the top-flight and crown Gor Mahia champions, KPL protested against the move saying they were the ones mandated to decide the fate of the league and promised to give direction by May 18 after a 21-day curfew imposed by the government elapsed.

However, KPL suffered a huge blow on Saturday when President Uhuru Kenyatta extended the curfew to June 6, two months before the new season gets underway in August.
