AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Fifa should constitute a Normalisation Committee immediately to save Kenya from being ejected from the 2022 World Cup qualifiers after Football Kenya Federation (FKF) defaulted in paying former coach Adel Amrouche Sh109million arbitral award, former AFC Leopards chairman Alex ole Magelo has said.<\/p>\n

Also calling for FKF NEC\u2019s immediate departure was Bandari FC Board of Trustees member Twaha Mbarak, who said Harambee Stars players will pay with their dreams of playing at the World Cup for individuals\u2019 mistakes.<\/p>\n

The two leaders were reacting to the imminent removal of Harambee Stars from the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers after failing to meet the deadline yesterday.<\/p>\n

Standard Sports has learnt that on April 20 FKF, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, asked Fifa for more time to comply with Court of Arbitration for Sport\u2019s directive to pay Amrouche.<\/p>\n

Magelo, who is also a former Nairobi County Assembly speaker said Mwendwa acted unilaterally and ended up mismanaging Amrouche\u2019s case, which has left Harambee Stars on the verge of exiting 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers without kicking a ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Nick should do, with immediate effect, is to pack, handover to a Normalisation Committee and go,\u201d Magelo said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cNick never involved the stakeholders over Adel Amrouche\u2019s issue. When I asked him to call stakeholders so that we deliberate on what to do with Amrouche and approaching government in a more dignified manner, he went playing around giving the government ultimatums and threatening Kenyans that oh, we are going to be thrown out of the World Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKicking Harambee Stars out of the Fifa World Cup is hard to contemplate, given it an individual\u2019s mistake. Notwithstanding that Fifa officer Veron Mosengo-Omba errored in his judgment to insist that Nick stays in office despite the Tribunal\u2019s ruling that his term was over, we respect Fifa all the same.<\/p>\n

\u201cFifa should reciprocate and immediately appoint a normalisation Committee comprising men and women of integrity and credible in the management of football in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Twaha said football is a peoples\u2019 game yet, unfortunately, Kenya finds itself in a precarious position because of the actions of an individual.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe demand that Nick Mwendwa and his executive, which the Sports Disputes Tribunal confirmed their term of office has ended should handover the institution to a Normalisation Committee. The national football team carries the hopes and aspirations of a country. Therefore, the Kenyan government should consult, as a matter of urgency, with Fifa to ensure Harambee Star are not thrown out,\u201d Twaha said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe manner in which they handled Amrouche\u2019s case demonstrates why they were wrong the people at the federation in the first place. The government, through the Sports Ministry should move to secure the national football team\u2019s space in the 2022 Fifa\u00a0World Cup qualifiers,\u201d Twaha said.<\/p>\n
