Kenya leads way in ending blight of corruption in African football
The Kenya Premier League has proved there a cure to the corruption and mismanagement that have smothered potential

The KPL represents a great example of African football sorting itself out, a successful rebellion by people who genuinely care about football against the powerful people seeking to hijack it for their own ends. Over the past decade the hijacking has at times been so blatant as to be farcical – an investigation into corruption in the Kenya Football Federation (KFF) in 2005 found that from the first eight matches played by the national team following the arrival of a new president "there was not a single penny banked by the treasurer as proceeds from gate receipts". There were also reports of top KFF officials acting as unregistered agents to sell players abroad and embezzling funds given by Fifa. Even 30 computers donated by Fifa disappeared.
