  • The related super sport termination of their KPL contract in March 2017
  • The necessary but difficult covid 19 suspension of KPL for five months in 2020
  • The FKF hostile takeover of the Kenyan premier League in September 2020
  • The fkf failure to pay clubs a fair share of the KPL broadcast/title rights revenue
  • The FKF mismanagement of FIFA , GOK and sponsorships funds during 2018-21 seasons.
