AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The Kenya Rugby Union (KRU) has caved in to pressure from stakeholders and allow for discussions regarding the conclusion of the canceled 2019\/2020 season.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, April 9, KRU moved to announce the cancellation of all league and cup competitions for the 2019\/2020 season due to the spread of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Through communication on their website on Thursday, April 9, KRU identified The Kenya Cup, Championship, Nationwide leagues, Enterprise and the Mwamba Cup as competitions canceled.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, April 14, KRU chair Oduor Gangla confirmed clubs appealed the cancellation, acknowledging clubs had a right to and explained issues would be taken into consideration by the fixtures committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be considered by the Fixtures Committee of the Board who are mandated to deal with local competitions matters,\u201d said the KRU chair.<\/p>\n

In a statement seen on the KRU website on Monday, April 27, the union has finally resorted to negotiating with relevant stakeholders on how the current season will end.<\/p>\n

Full statement on KRU Website:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFollowing further consultations with clubs over the past one week regarding cancellation of the KRU calendar for the 2019\/2020 season, the KRU is persuaded that stakeholders prefer a scenario where the season comes to a conclusion once the COVID-19 situation and its various restrictions ease. KRU and Clubs have thus agreed to form a consultative committee to develop various scenarios and timelines under which the season can be concluded all factors considered. With this in mind, the 2019\/2020 season then stands suspended and not cancelled as earlier communicated…\u201d<\/p>\n
