The national football association yesterday moved closer to taking over the management of the top league by announcing that it will adopt a new name - FKF Premier League - next season, as enshrined in its constitution.
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) further announced that it will take over all the judicial bodies of the league.
The federation, which held an extra-ordinary executive meeting on Tuesday, also maintained that its decision to increase the number of teams from 16 to 18 next season is non-negotiable.
In a statement read to the media, FKF vice-chairman Robert Asembo said the move to change the name of the top league is in line with article 10 (1) of their statutes.
