Shikanda happy with delayed league restart
AFC Leopards Chairman Dan Shikanda is confident that
the FKF-PL teams will be ready to resume the league on December 4.
Shikanda has hailed the FKF Caretaker Committee for
the announcement which stretches to a further one week without football matches,
confident that it gives them enough time to prepare well.
According to Shikanda, teams the delayed restart gives clubs some more time to perform an in-house
cleaning and be in a position to compete for the trophies on offer this season.
“The Caretaker Committee suspended the league so as to
help us and them to prepare well before the resumption.
We have had that opportunity to evaluate where we have
come from and where we are heading to.
But now we have now come out of uncertainty after
knowing the exact date of league resumption and teams will now ready themselves
with December 4 in mind,” Shikanda said.
In a meeting with top-tier teams yesterday at Nyayo
Stadium yesterday, the Committee also urged the clubs to comply with the Sports
Act 2013, according to Ali Amour who is one of the members.
“On the Sports Act (2013) compliance we have agreed
with the clubs and they have assured us that they have already started the
process and almost through and I am grateful for that.
Secondly, how will the clubs grow their players and
their youth teams? This one we have also discussed and so we have put in place
strategies of which after every one week or 15 days to meet the clubs to
monitor their progress and help in case there are challenges,” said Ali.
The Justice Aaron Ringera-led Committee also discussed
the harmonization of the league fixtures.
The Committee was put in place to manage football in
the country after the Sports Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Amina Mohammed
elected to disband the Football Kenya Federation under President Nick Mwendwa
two weeks ago.
