Sorry, I am here to work, not to beg for respect - FKF president Mwendwa

The federation chief found himself under fire following their decision to cancel the league and declare K'Ogalo champions

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa has defended the decision to cancel the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) by chastising those who said a consultative meeting should have been held first.

After the FKF moved to cancel the top-tier on Thursday, stakeholders including the KPL managing body and some club chairmen criticised the federation for what they called a rushed decision.

Gor Mahia were declared league champion, which essentially means they have now won the league for the fourth straight time, a move which generated a lot of discussion among stakeholders.
