In a statement, the club chairman Ken Ochieng’, said the team will not continue participating in a disorderly mismanaged league, which is a betrayal to Fifa, Confederation of African Football (Caf) and Football Kenya Federation (FKF) statutes.
The club further indicated that the government had ignored the FKF standing committees and judicial bodies and gone ahead to arbitrarily extend the term of the transition committee in disregard of the FKF constitution that they ought to have religiously upheld.
“We hereby immediately withdraw from the Football Kenya Federation Transition Committee organised and run NSL 2021/22 season. To our dearest and most loyal set of fans and admirers, the dream remains afloat” Ochieng’ told Nation.
The Kericho based team withdrawal from the league comes at the back of legal battle between Eight clubs drawn from NSL and Divison One who had on May 20 moved to court accusing the FKF Transiton Committee and the FKF Independent Disciplinary and Arbitrary Committee of failing to solve match disputes.
Among the clubs that filed the petition include Migori Youth, Dandora Love, Kamungei,Gusii FC and Zoo FC.
Others are Kisumu All Stars, Mwatate United, Coastal Heroes and sports journalist, Francis Okello, who was also enjoined in the petition.
The said clubs had also raised questions in regard to poor officiating, insecurity in match venues and delay in paying match officials.
Zoo FC are currently ranked eighth on the league with 41 points managed from 27 matches.
