FKFPL Namwamba pledges mega FKF Premier League sponsorship package
The Sports CS has pledged a 'mega deal' that will make the FKFPL more financially sustainable.
He added that the likes of Kamariny Stadium in West Pokot and the Wote Stadium in Makueni County were started under a different regime and therefore the Kenya Kwanza Government should not be blamed.
“Those projects were started under a different administration and the speed and cost-effectiveness and quality and class of the Moi Stadium in Embu is what this government will deliver. All those other facilities that were started previously will be completed.
"There is a plan for that and we shall deliver. We have renovated the Embu Stadium in less than nine months since we entered office and I promise that great things are coming. I want to applaud the County Government of Embu for making it easy on our side,” CS Namwamba said.
