Congolese hit man decries deplorable state of Kenyan football after spate of walkovers

Kakamega Homeboyz forward Yema Mwamba has appealed to the Kenyan government to help uplift the quality of football in the country ahead of the 2022/23 Football Kenya Federation Premier League season.Speaking on the last day of the 2021/22 FKFPL campaign, a day when title-chasing Homeboyz were handed a walkover, the Congolese forward lamented that it does not sit well with him that such a high-profile and decisive match can fail to take place as scheduled with so much at stake.Full Time:Kakamega Homeboyz 2-0 Kariobangi Sharks (W.O)#AbanaBeingo #MozzartBet#wearehomeboyz pic.twitter.com/csU9OmLNSU— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) June 12, 2022 Kakamega Homeboyz were awarded a walkover after Kariobangi Sharks failed to show up for the final match at Mumias Complex, their second walkover in quick succession after getting freebies in their away game in the capital after FC Talanta players downed their tools the previous weekend.”I am appealing to the Kenyan government to help the Kenyan league because the quality is down at the moment compared to other leagues in Ethiopia and so and that is not a good thing. In all the seasons I have played in Kenya the quality has been wanting. It is bad that a team can fail to show up for a title-deciding match. I do not think that some of us still have the strength to continue playing in the Kenyan league in its current state,” Yema said.Yema Mwana has been named our Player of The Month for March.#MozzartBet#wearehomeboyz#AbanaBeingo pic.twitter.com/EqQexVeKem— Kakamega Homeboyz FC (@FcHomeboyz) April 24, 2022 Mwamba signed a year-long contract with Homeboyz at the start of the season from Bandari and has been instrumental for Kakamega Homeboyz throughout the season as they dared to dream, scoring nine goals in the process, and being named the club’s March player of the month.The former Bandari FC forward has implored fans from across the divide and league administrators to work collectively to restore the lost glory ahead of the new campaign.”Fans should sit with the league owners to deliberate on how to make the league better. Some of the things that have happened in the league cannot even happen in Sunday leagues. Now that the season has ended, we would like to see the next one is better. I thank God we got to the end of the season well,” he added.
