FKF Breaks Silence On Reports Of New Appointments After Mariga’s Dismissal

The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has dismissed reports claiming that new officials have been appointed to occupy leadership positions left vacant following the removal of seven National Executive Committee (NEC) members.In an official statement issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, the federation clarified that it had not selected anyone to take over the vacant positions, including that of the Vice President.

The clarification comes two days after seven NEC members were dismissed during a Special General Meeting (SGM) held in Meru on Saturday, November 7.

Following the meeting, reports and claims emerged suggesting that the federation had already identified individuals to replace the outgoing officials.

However, FKF maintained that no such appointments had been made.

The football governing body explained that filling vacant leadership positions must follow procedures outlined in its constitution and other applicable regulations.

It added that any decisions concerning the vacant offices would be made in accordance with the established rules and communicated to members and the public through its official communication channels.

FKF also called on journalists and media organisations to exercise caution when reporting developments within the federation, urging them to verify information before publishing it.

The federation warned that spreading unverified claims and misinformation could undermine the interests of Kenyan football at a time when its leadership matters remain under attention.The statement further reaffirmed FKF’s commitment to transparency, accountability and respect for due process as it handles its responsibilities.

The latest clarification is expected to address speculation surrounding the federation’s leadership structure following the Meru meeting.

Members and football stakeholders will now await official communication on how the vacant NEC positions will be filled.
