The league is expected to resume on Saturday 4 December as per the latest communique
The Aaron Ringera-led Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Caretaker Committee has reassured the football fraternity of prompt resumption of activities this weekend starting with the top-flight league on Saturday 4 December 2021 as planned.
Over the past week, uncertainty has been rife as to whether the league will be able to resume normalcy ever since the caretaker committee took over all footballing activities after the November international break.
Initially, the 2021/2022 campaign was supposed to get back on 26 November after the completion of a two-week suspension that had been imposed to allow for the regularization of league activities across the country after the takeover. That was however not to be as the date was pushed forward by a further week in unclear circumstances.

Speaking to Mozzart Sport on Thursday, Mwangi Muthee confirmed that there will be no more delays as the caretaker committee has decided to restart the league this weekend.
"The league is set to resume this weekend 4 December as we communicated earlier. Everything is as planned and we expect to get action underway over the weekend. We will have a press conference later on today to have the message passed across," the committee member revealed.
Since November 7, a ball is yet to be kicked in the local leagues after the flurry of events that have since taken place. Ahead of making the decision to resume activities, the caretaker committee has already released fixtures that are expected to be played this weekend.
Football is back!
