Former Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Sam Nyamweya has appealed to the Kenyan government to step in and sponsor the football leagues in the country.
With the exit of SportPesa, the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) could start on August 31 without a title sponsor and Nyamweya feels it is time the government should step up and sponsor them.
The gaming firm was KPL's title sponsor, parent sponsor to AFC Leopards and Gor Mahia and also sponsored the FKF.

"A sad state of affairs is emerging in our top-flight league; the KPL, the nationwide league and the women national league following the exit of key sponsors," Nyamweya said in a statement seen by Goal.
