Jack Oguda: KPL league to start as planned despite SportPesa exit

The new Kenyan Premier League (KPL) season will kickoff as planned.

According to KPL CEO Jack Oguda the league will start on August 30 despite the decision by SportPesa to pull out their sponsorship a week ago.

“We are starting with the Super Cup on Sunday and then the league will also kickoff as planned, nothing will change,” Oguda told Goal on Thursday.

“We are sourcing for more sponsors to come on board and support the league but as we do so, we must commence the league. Most of the teams in the league have their own sponsors and will use what they get for the start.
