FKF is an independent body and we are sure of nailing a sponsor before the new season kicks off. The talks are going on and are at an advanced stage. As a committee we are also working to see to it that Kenya’s suspension is lifted. We are now the decision making organ of the federation and I believe Fifa will act so that Kenya can be back to international football,” Otieno said.The FKF Transition Committee’s tenure is set to stretch all the way to mid-August and only one week separates the lapse of the tenure from the tentative date set.
