FKF President Hussein Mohammed Breaks Silence After Mariga’s Expulsion, Reveals What Happened

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed has broken his silence following the expulsion of former FKF Vice President McDonald Mariga, revealing the power struggles that allegedly existed within the federation’s leadership.

Mohammed, while addressing the controversy surrounding Mariga’s removal, claimed that the former Harambee Stars captain wanted to become the FKF president and had intentions of pushing him aside.

The FKF boss maintained that he had no regrets about what had happened to Mariga, insisting that the former vice president wanted everything within the federation to revolve around him.

According to Mohammed, the leadership structure of the federation was clear from the beginning, with him being elected president while Mariga served as his deputy.

He questioned why he would allow his deputy to take control of the organisation when members had elected him to lead the federation.

“Mariga wanted to be the president of FKF and had the intention of pushing me aside. I don’t regret what has happened to him. He wanted everything to revolve around him. I was elected president, and he was my deputy, so why would I allow that?” Mohammed stated.

His remarks come days after Mariga and FKF National Executive Committee member Dan Shikanda were expelled from their positions during a Special General Meeting.

The decision has, however, triggered controversy, with Mariga and Shikanda describing their removal as illegal.

The two officials claimed they were denied an opportunity to attend the meeting and defend themselves before the decision to remove them was reached.

Mariga has maintained that the process was unfair, raising questions about the procedures followed during the meeting and the legitimacy of the resolutions.

Mohammed’s latest remarks now provide a glimpse into the disagreements that reportedly characterised the relationship between the FKF president and his former deputy.

The dispute has placed the federation’s leadership under renewed scrutiny, with football stakeholders expected to closely follow developments surrounding the expulsions and possible legal challenges.
