 The Kenya Football Federation (FKF) has joined the rest of the world in condemning the terrorist attack on a Luxury hotel in Nairobi.

The FKF said a minute of silence will be observed before the kick off of the SportPesa Premier League match involving champions Gor Mahia and Mount Kenya United at the Kasarani in honour of Tuesday’s Riverside terror attack victims.

The Federation said in a statement, “We take this earliest opportunity to not only express our deepest condolences to the bereaved families but also wish all those who were injured in the attacks a quick recovery,”.
