Mwendwa claims Kenya's not neglecting Women's league after Betika bails out KPL and NSL

The Kenya Women's Premier League (WPL) has called out for help just a few days after the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) and National Super League (NSL) players were boosted with a financial cushion for players during the coronavirus period.

On Thursday, FKF, and betting firm Betika have unveiled a Sh5.3 million package for the top-flight and second-tier leagues with 30 players from each of the 17 KPL and 19 NSL clubs taking home Sh5, 000 each from the leading online gaming firm.

The move has not gone down well with the women's league, who feel they have been neglected at the hour of need and also need support like other teams in the Kenyan leagues.
