The public is being treated to a somewhat confusing debate on the composition of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL). Hard positions have been taken. KPL, supported by host broadcaster, SuperSport, has stuck to 16 teams. FKF has said the decision on 18 teams is final and irreversible.
FKF has given a deadline for fresh registration of clubs. Accusations of misappropriation of funds are flying from very unusual quarters. Which makes one wonder whether the polemic of 18-team or 16-team KPL is a red herring.
