On 21 April 2020, the Kenyan Premier League was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed 11 lives in the country.
Sony Sugar chairman Gabriel Otiende Otiende believes the cancellation of this season's league will be a fair decision to all clubs.
The Awendo-based side was relegated to the National Super League last November after failing to honour fixtures against AFC Leopards, Tusker, and Zoo.
Otiende stated that the team had exhausted all its finances and even notified the league's management body.
The millers were sponsored by mother company Sony Sugar, whose taps ran dry due to financial challenges in the sugar industry.
"We were not relegated because we were a poor side but due to financial constraints," Otiende said.
He recalled that together with Mathare United chairman Bob Munro and former Football Kenya Federation President Sam Nyamweya, they petitioned KPL to suspend the league and source for money from the Sports Fund to aid clubs but their plea was ignored.
"We saw this coming and I am sure even if the league could have been running, more teams could have issued walkovers," he added.
