Press statement on postponement of the AFC Leopards SC-Gor Mahia FC match:
Following intensive consultations between the KPL Vice-chairman Lt. Col. Erick Oloo, AFC Leopards Chairman Dan Mule, Gor Mahia Chairman Ambrose Rachier, and the FKF President Nick Mwendwa, after the home team, AFC Leopards, expressed concerns of not being well-positioned to make adequate security arrangements of hosting the match at the Afraha Stadium in Nakuru on Sunday May 7, 2017, it has been unanimously decided that owing to the home team’s confirmation of being unable to provide adequate security, no chance can be taken at hosting the match at Afraha. Consequently, the match has been postponed until such a time when the Nyayo National Stadium and/or the Moi International Sports Centre, Kasarani will be available.
