Mr. Alfred Sambu
KFF National Chairman
 
Dear Mr. Sambu,

On behalf of the majority of Premier League clubs I want to express our regret that you were unable to accept or respond to our invitation to attend our meeting yesterday. However, at the meeting the clubs praised your recent announcement that the next Premier League will be owned and managed by the KPL. That is a refreshing and necessary break with the past and a sincere recognition that this had already been agreed for inclusion in the KFF Constitution at the meeting on December 9, 2004 chaired by Sports Minister Ochillo Ayacko with key members of the KFF Normalisation Committee and top FIFA officials.

As agreed with the KFF Normalisation Committee and FIFA and reported to you earlier, our shareholders already agreed to change our name to "KFF Premier League Ltd" as is the practice in England and many other countries where the league is owned and run by clubs.

To help accelerate that transition, our clubs also welcomed the FIFA/KFF initiative to invite senior officials of the South African Premier Soccer League in to meet with us on May 2nd. To prepare properly for that meeting and the 2005-06 season, our clubs request a meeting with you and your colleagues, preferably on Saturday, April 16th or 23rd as most of our club officials serve as volunteers and have other fulltime jobs.

The full KPL statement is attached. As the election of the previous club representatives was irregular and in the last three months neither of them has attended any KPL meetings or consulted the other clubs they should represent, please note that the majority of Premier League clubs decided that "the KPL Chairman from Nzoia FC should now represent their clubs as the KFF Second Vice Chairman and the KPL Vice Chairman from Tusker FC should serve as the second club representative on the KFF National Executive Committee".

Also approved by the clubs and attached is the report "For the Good of the Game: Achieving Good Governance, Financial Transparency and Stakeholder Accountability for Saving and Improving Kenyan Football". I was asked by the clubs to submit it immediately to you for distribution to all participants at the FIFA/KFF workshop this week.

For the good the game, our clubs now look forward to working closely with KFF and FIFA in making the 2005-06 Premier League the most competitive, exciting and rewarding league in Kenyan football history.

With best wishes,
Gerishom Kololi
KPL Chairman
