  "summary": "The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has expelled seven members of its National Executive Committee (NEC), including Vice President McDonald Mariga Wanyama, during a General Assembly meeting on November 7, 2026. The decision was made following a Special General Meeting held in Meru, where allegations of serious and repeated violations of the FKF Constitution and FIFA regulations were considered. The expelled officials are FKF Vice President McDonald Mariga Wanyama, Central NEC Member Robert Kenneth Macharia, Upper Rift Valley NEC Member Bernard Korir Lagat, FKF Women Representative Violet Kerubo Momanyi, Nyanza NEC Member Collins Opiyo Kalee, Coast NEC Member Gabriel Mghendi, and Nairobi NEC Member Daniel Akala Shikanda. The FKF cited the purported NEC resolution to remove the President and other officials, as well as the officials' failure to attend NEC meetings and unauthorized actions, as reasons for the expulsions. The General Assembly, which included FIFA and CAF representatives, emphasized the federation's commitment to constitutional governance, accountability, and football administration stability in Kenya.",
