Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The highly anticipated Football Kenya Federation Annual General Meeting was set for Saturday has been thrown into disarray.<\/p>\n

This follows a case filed at the Mombasa High Court on Friday where journalist Milton Nyakundi questioned the legality of the federation to convene the event.<\/p>\n

In her ruling, Lady Justice Olga Sewe certified an application made by Nyakundi as urgent and set the hearing date for March 18.<\/p>\n

“This matter coming up on March 15 for direction on the notice of motion dated March 13 before Lady Justice Olga Sewe, upon considering the said application together with its supporting affidavit and the annexures thereto; “…That the application be and is hereby certified as urgent. That the same be served forthwith on the respondents and other parties for hearing on March 18 ”<\/p>\n

“That in the interim stay of the said Annual General Meeting of the Football Kenya Federation be and is hereby granted pending hearing inter parties of the application.”<\/p>\n

The development comes after a section of Football Kenya Federation (FKF) delegates warned Murang’a Seal vice-chairman Hussein Mohammed and his Bandari counterpart Twaha Mbarak to keep off the affairs of the local governing body.<\/p>\n

The two administrators who have declared interest in the FKF presidency courted trouble after claiming they would attend the meeting at Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE) on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The delegates, drawn from Kenya’s top and second-tier clubs as well as the 47 county branches, have threatened to invoke Article 30.4 of the FKF Constitution to kick out individuals masquerading as football stakeholders.<\/p>\n

Trouble began when FKF secretary general, Barry Otieno, wrote a letter to Seal, stating categorically that Mohammed is ineligible to attend the AGM set for Saturday.<\/p>\n

But in a quick rejoinder, Murang’a Seal’s chairman, Robert Macharia defended the appointment of Hussein, insisting he would attend the AGM.<\/p>\n

“On the 5th of March, Murang\u2019a Seal appointed its Vice Chairman Hussein Mohammed to represent the club at the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for Saturday 16th March 2024,” he stated.<\/p>\n

“The position taken by the FKF CEO blatantly violates the FKF Constitution, the rights of Murang\u2019a Seal, and the universal values of football,” Macharia\u2019s statement read, signalling a deepening rift between the club and the federation’s administration.<\/p>\n

“In plain English, there is no regulation anywhere on earth that empowers the FKF CEO to decide for Murang\u2019a Seal who shall represent them at the FKF AGM.”<\/p>\n
