The Kenya Premier League 2019/2020 season remains suspended due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has brought all sporting events to a hault.

In a press statement, the league managing body says that it will convene a meeting with its shareholders and Governing Council to decide a way forward once the pandemic has been contained and the Kenyan Government has confirmed the lifting of curfews and other control measures.

“Once the pandemic has been contained and the Kenya Government confirms lifting of the curfew and other control measures put in place to curb the virus, KPL will convene a KPL shareholders meeting/Governing Council to decide the best way forward that will be good for the integrity of the competition and the clubs and after thoroughly looking at all available options and the pros and cons for each option.”

The statement continued: “As of now, there is no urgency to determine the fate of the current season as the world of football is dealing with unprecedented times as a result of the Coronavirus.

With regard to players welfare, the statement said:

“Regarding the KPL players and their contracts, individual clubs will discuss the situation with their players on the way forward during the interim period that the current league is suspended.”

Defending champions Gor Mahia top the standings on 54 points, seven ahead of second placed Kakamega Homeboyz after round 23.
