Harambee Starlets coach Alex Alumira wants the Football Kenya Federation Women Premier League stakeholders to seek audience with Cabinet Secretary for Sports Ababu Namwamba in search for a way forward for the women's game.
On Thursday Kenyan Premier League met Namwamba at the Kenya National Library Service Building, Nairobi and Alumira believes this should be replicated for the good of the women's leagues.
Alumira said: "The only way we can put our house in order is by ensuring that a consultative meeting between WPL and the Sports CS takes place as soon as possible. We must be objective. It's premature to start blaming each other."
KPL's meeting with Namwamba revolved around finding a lasting solution to the problems bedevilling the men's league and Harambee Stars with social media awash with questions why the WPL and Harambee Starlets are being treated differently.
He observed that he has faith with Namwamba's leadership and that his efforts to bring order to the industry will eventually bear fruit, if only there are consultations.
With this, Alumira said Kenya will be able to follow Tanzania in playing at the top level of the women's game.
"In matters women's football, Tanzania are the most successful country in East and Central Africa. Their under-17 team recently competed at the World Cup where they managed to draw with Canada and beat giants France. The well laid down football structures in Tanzania is the difference," he observed.
Alumira was appointed Starlets' tactician in January this year but Kenya's indefinite suspension from all football activities by world governing body,Fifa, means he cannot plan.
Meanwhile, the former Mudete United coach has revealed how moving across the border to Tanzania, where he is an administrator at Fountain Gate, has helped grow.
"Crossing the boarders has helped me learn. In Kenya, I looked at football from a coaches' perspective. After getting out of my comfort zone, I have expanded my horizon by virtue of being an administrator," said Alumira.
"The Tanzania women's league is among the top 10 in Africa. They have the great sponsorship deals, clubs can sign a player from Europe and they can afford to pay handsomely."
