Nyamweya: Government should revise upwards stimulus package for KPL players

Sam Nyamweya has called on the government to revise upwards the stimulus package extended to Kenyan Premier League (KPL) players owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

The government through the Sports Cabinet CS Amina Mohamed confirmed on Tuesday that all KPL players will be getting Sh10,000 for the next three months as part of the Sh20 million Covid-19 stimulus package from the Sports Fund.

The agreement had been reached a couple of weeks ago to help players who have been struggling to make a living after football was suspended owing to the Covid-19.
