Meanwhile, the chairman, Athletics Kenya Isaiah Kiplagat has condemned the banning by Football Kenya Limited of the two stadiums from hosting local matches following the stampede last Saturday.

Kiplagat, who also sits on the board of the Sports Stadia Management Board said the decision was ill-timed and will further complicate the shaky state of affairs of football in the country.

"When you close Nyayo Stadium and City Stadium from hosting matches, where will teams play? There is no stadium in Kenya that is safe from incidents like what happened last weekend. Most of the playing grounds in the country do not have system of crowd control should the need arise."

The Nyayo Stadium was the venue for the 17th African Championships in Athletics in August which has been described as one of the most successful sporting events to be staged in the country.

The five-day event drew massive crowds forcing organizers to lock out almost an equal number of spectators on each day of the event.

"We did have any incidents during the championships because security was perfect. Whenever the stadium reached its capacity, all the gates would be closed to avert any tragedy," said the athletics boss.

The league is scheduled to end on Nov. 14.
