FKF Disbandment: Cabinet Secretary for Sports Ambassador Amina Mohamed has disbanded the FKF. CS Amina has then appointed a caretaker committee that shall be headed by retired judge Justice Aaron Ringera.
The disbandment of the FKF has brought to an end the tumultuous reign of FKF chairman Nick Mwendwa, who is facing corruption allegations. Mwendwa is also widely accused of running down local football. However, the move by CS Amina has placed Kenya at the risk of a ban by world football governing body Fifa.

However, a spot check on social media has registered positive acknowledgement on the disbandment of the FKF, but displeasure at the appointment of Ringera as the caretaker chair.
The committee led by Justice Ringera will have a mandate of six months. Other members of the committee are General Retired Moses Oyugi, Fatma Adan, Philip Musyimi, Anthony Isayi, Elisha Kiplagat and Hassan Haji, redrick Tureisa, Mwangi Muthee, Neddy Atieno, Ali Amour, Titus Kasuve, Richard Omwela, Bobby Ogolla and JJ Masiga. CS Amina had on Thursday morning received the audit report on FKF from Sports Registrar Rose Wasike.
Incidentally, the FKF disbandment came on the day that the national football team, Harambee Stars, is scheduled to play Uganda Cranes in a 2022 World Cup qualifier at St Mary’s Stadium, Kitende from 4pm.
