Former Football Kenya Federation president Sam Nyamweya has implored SuperSport International to reconsider its decision to terminate broadcast contract with the Kenyan Premier League.
In a letter addressed to SuperSport head of Acquisition and Legal, Mr Brandon Foot, Nyamweya, said: “I am persuaded that although complex, the issues (breach of contract) you have raised can be resolved through dialogue and/or mediation so that the socio-economic impact of your decision is mitigated for the good of all parties,” Nyamweya said.
“Supersport has contributed to Kenyan football what no other broadcaster has done, sometimes under challenging and tumultuous circumstances but have been steadfast in their partnership.
“As a person who signed the Memorandum of Understanding between FKF and KPL, I have appealed against a Sports Disputes Tribunal ruling, which may have triggered this scenario.”
Supersport had been the broadcast rights holder of the Kenyan L eague since 2008 until their move three weeks ago.
