FKF Clarifies No New Appointments After Sacking Seven NEC Members

The Football Kenya Federation has moved to quell widespread speculation by confirming that no immediate replacements have been selected to take over the offices left vacant by the mass dismissal of seven National Executive Committee (NEC) members.

In a formal statement released on Monday, November 9, 2026, the federation addressed media reports regarding interim succession plans.

FKF emphasized that any upcoming administrative changes and filling of vacant positions—including the Vice Presidency—will strictly adhere to the organization’s constitutional framework and official communication channels.

The administrative upheaval stems from a charged Special General Meeting held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in Meru.

During the gathering—which was attended by official observers from FIFA, the Confederation of African Football (CAF), and government representatives—the FKF General Assembly voted to dismiss seven top executive members.

The list of expelled officials features high-profile figures. Those removed are:

According to the federation’s leadership, the assembly acted upon allegations of gross and repeated violations of the FKF Constitution and FIFA regulations.

Key grievances included an unsanctioned April 2026 resolution aimed at removing the FKF President, continuous absenteeism from mandatory NEC meetings, and unauthorized public statements issued on behalf of the governing body.

The decision has triggered an intense administrative and legal showdown.

Ousted Vice President McDonald Mariga swiftly rejected the outcome, labeling the entire proceeding irregular, unlawful, and a direct violation of natural justice.

Mariga and his supporters, including Nairobi representative Dan Shikanda, argued that they were locked out of the Meru meeting venue and denied a fair opportunity to defend themselves against the allegations, pointing to protective mandates under Article 41 of the FKF Constitution.

“Our position has never been about protecting individual positions. It is about safeguarding FKF as an institution and defending the constitutional rights of its members,” Mariga stated, confirming that he has escalated the dispute to FIFA, CAF, and the Sports Registrar to investigate the validity of the meeting.

In response to the mounting tension, FKF President Hussein Mohammed’s administration defended the legitimacy of the SGM, noting that the affected members had been formally invited to present their case but failed to show or send authorized representatives.

The federation has cautioned media outlets and football stakeholders against propagating unverified claims that could destabilize the sport.

As the international bodies review the submissions from both sides, FKF has reiterated its commitment to institutional transparency, promising that further administrative updates will be shared transparently once constitutional prerequisites are met.
