The government's move is aimed at cushioning footballers from the adverse effects of Covid-19
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Presidential aspirant Herbert Mwachiro has lauded the government initiative to disburse Ksh10,000 for each footballer to cater for their needs during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Ministry of Sports confirmed the players will benefit from the funds derived from the Sports Fund kitty and will be channelled to the players for the next three months.
“It’s a great step from Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina [Mohamed], it shows that the government is listening and this is the kind of proactive leadership that sportspersons have been waiting for,” Mwachiro said in a statement seen by Goal.
