A Sh20 million stimulus package that was drawn from the Sports Fund was unveiled by Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed in May. Select Kenyan Premier League (KPL) and Women Premier League (WPL) players were to each pocket Sh10,000 monthly in May, June, and July as per the terms of this initiative. The aid package was meant to cushion the players from the effects of the coronavirus after football activities were temporarily halted in March. "I can confirm my players have received the Covid-19 funds for two months," Elly Kalekwa, the Kenyan Premier League side owner, told Nation Sport. Sources at the Kencom House- based Sports Ministry indicate the funds could be dispatched as from Wednesday.
