The tussle between the Kenyan Premier League and Football Kenya Federation over the composition of the Kenya Premier League has taken a new twist after former FKF president Sam Nyamweya moved to the High Court seeking suspension of the enforcement of club licensing rules.
Nyamweya also wants the court to suspend orders by the Sports Disputes Tribunal instructing both parties to engage in talks over expansion of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) to 18 teams.
The former president has sued the Sports Disputes Tribunal, FKF boss Nick Mwendwa and Secretary General Robert Muthomi for violating terms of the federation, arguing the officials have allegedly done so by agreeing to run the top tier.
Further, Nyamweya is asking the court to restrain Mwendwa from discussing and interfering with the ownership, organisation, management and running of the top tier league, arguing that KPL is fully in charge and should manage its own affairs.
