Football Kenya Federation(FKF) will provide logistical support of Ksh 300,000 and Ksh 250,000 to KPL & NSL clubs respectively.
Citing the effects of the pandemic and closure of FKF accounts amid an investigation into financial impropriety at the football body, the clubs had requested the Government to help them bridge the shortfall.
"We received your requests for funding from FKF Caretaker Committee to help with some logistics of resumption of league fixtures.”
“ We note, however, that because of the limited resources available at this moment in time, for a start the FKF Caretaker Committee has agreed that it will provide Sh300,000 for each of the Premier League Clubs and Sh250,000 for each of the the National Super League football clubs," Justice Ringera said in the statement to clubs.
The FKF Caretaker Committee has requested the Chairmen of the respective Premier League clubs and National Super League Clubs to provide the banking information to facilitate the money transfer.
The amounts offered by the committee to the teams are way below the ksh2 million grant each of the teams had requested to enable them to prepare for the league matches this weekend.
The NSL clubs were initially promised ksh 750,000 from Betika sponsorship negotiated by the disbanded FKF, which was later reduced to Kshs 300,000.
At the time also, Premier League clubs were receiving Ksh 833, 000 from StarTimes deal before it was reduced to Ksh 400,000.
Clubs have been informed that any review of changes to the Committee's offer would be communicated in the near future when necessary.
League matches are set to resume this weekend after a three-week break as Bidco United will face off with AFC Leopards at Thika stadium on Saturday starting from 3pm while Kariobangi Sharks will face Nairobi City Stars at Ruaraka Grounds at the same time.
