Football Kenya Federation (FKF) presidential aspirant Herbert Mwachiro has urged the government to consider women footballers and match officials in their next stimulus.
The Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed announced the release of Sh20 million from the Sports Fund to help some players plying trade in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL).
Players and five officials from specified top tier teams will receive Sh10,000 monthly amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.
