Football Kenya Federation and StarTimes Media will press ahead with the launch of the FKF Premier League broadcast rights deal today that has touched off internal wrangles within league champions Gor Mahia and Tusker FC.
One the one hand, Kenyan champions Gor Mahia, Mathare United, Zoo FC and Ulinzi Stars insist the broadcast rights are their “intellectual property” and FKF has no right to trade with it without their express authorization. On the other FKF insists they own the collective rights of leagues and competitions under Article 81 of its constitution and 13 teams have since signed up.
