Kakamega Homeboyz coach Francis Baraza has openly criticised the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) following the recent postponement of the final two fixtures of the 2024/25 FKF Premier League season.Speaking to Mozzart Sport, Baraza described the decision to reschedule the concluding rounds as a clear indication of poor planning and a lack of organisation within the federation.Follow our WhatsApp channel for more newsThe league was set to resume next week after a three-week break that created room for the Mozzart Bet Cup, the Mashemeji Derby return leg clash, and the FIFA international break.##NAJAVA_MECA_8965503##However, in a communiqué sent to all clubs on Wednesday morning, FKF announced that rounds 33 and 34, originally scheduled for 10 and 15 June, had been moved to 15 and 21 of the same month.Baraza expressed frustration at the constant changes in the management of the league fixtures.”For us now, we will just sit back and watch. Let the federation plan and do as they feel and want. I believe they completely lack a plan. Even now, if they receive another invitation, they could postpone the league again. These inconsistencies reveal how poorly organised the league management is,” lamented the tactician.This marks the second time FKF has delayed the final fixtures of the current season.The initial postponement was to accommodate the return leg of the Mashemeji Derby, with the current one occasioned by Harambee Stars’ scheduled two-legged international friendlies against Chad on 7 and 9 June in Morocco.AFC Leopards chairman promises to host Mashemeji Derby at Bukhungu StadiumStars’ planned encounters against Chad fall within a FIFA international break, which is designed for national teams.According to the FKF Constitution, teams with more than two players in the national team may have their fixtures called off, upon request by the club, three days before and three days after the national team engagement. It is not clear whether the clubs that have players in the team requested that their fixtures be pushed back.As the league edges closer to its climax, Kenya Police continue to lead the standings with 61 points and could win their first league title if they manage a draw against Shabana in the penultimate round.Gor Mahia midfielder thrilled to rejoin Harambee Stars after year in coldThey hold a six-point lead over defending champions Gor Mahia, who can only hope for a sporting miracle to save their bid for their 22nd league crown.On the other end of the table, the relegation battle is competitive and, at the same time, interesting.Nairobi City Stars are entrenched at the bottom, with Bidco United, Posta Rangers, Murang’a Seal, Mara Sugar, Kariobangi Sharks, and FC Talanta all battling to avoid the drop.
