FKF Denies Appointing New Officials to Fill Vacant NEC Positions

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has refuted claims that new officials were appointed to replace seven NEC members dismissed during a recent General Assembly meeting. A statement issued on November 9, 2026, denied reports that individuals had already been selected for the vacant positions, including the role of Vice President.

The federation emphasized that any decisions regarding the filling of these positions would adhere strictly to its Constitution and relevant regulations, with all communications to be made through official channels. FKF requested journalists to verify information before publishing any reports on changes within its leadership structure.

The federation reminded members of the Fourth Estate about their duty to maintain professional standards, verify facts, and ensure accuracy before disseminating news. This clarification follows two days after the FKF General Assembly voted to expel the seven NEC members, citing repeated breaches of the FKF Constitution and FIFA rules.

The assembly considered charges such as a proposed resolution seeking the removal of FKF President Hussein Mohammed and others, officials consistently missing meetings, unauthorized communications, and actions contrary to the federation's guidelines. The General Assembly, comprised of representatives from FIFA and CAF, applied articles from the federation's Constitution to justify the expulsions.
