Police teargas disrupts FKF Special General Meeting in Meru

On Saturday, the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Special General Meeting held in Meru faced an unexpected interruption when members of the Police Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) deployed teargas into the venue, forcing attendees to flee the scene. The incident took place at the Three Steers Hotel, where FKF General Assembly members had gathered, waiting for the meeting to commence.

As of November 7, the FKF reported that the meeting had not yet begun, citing the police operation that occurred before delegates could engage in their scheduled business. The federation expressed its concern over the circumstances surrounding the police intervention, stating that it had interfered with the constitutional process initiated by the General Assembly members.

Upon leaving the hotel, FKF officials were seen raising their hands as they exited amid the ongoing police operation. The incident unfolded shortly after McDonald Mariga arrived at the venue, accompanied by RDU officers, as reported by witnesses and captured on camera. FKF indicated that further updates would be provided as the situation unfolds, with the status of the Special General Meeting remaining uncertain.
