FKF Statement on directive by Sports CS Amina Mohammed directing Sports Registrar to inspect federation

The Football Kenya Federation leadership has learned via media reports of the decision by the Cabinet Secretary for Sports and Culture Ambassador Amina Mohammed, directing the Sports Registrar, Rose Wasike, to carry out an inspection of FKF.

The directive is confounding as FKF is unsure of the scope, terms of reference, and objective of the said inspection and has formally written to the Cabinet Secretary for Sports and Culture seeking further and better particulars to enable the federation to ensure compliance with the lawful and legitimate edicts of the inspection.

Upon receipt of the requested information, the Federation, whilst remaining cognizant of the powers of the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, as provided for under Article 52(1) of the Sports Act (2013) will comply with the said inspection as guided by the Sports Act (2013), FKF constitution (2017) and FIFA statutes.

The Federation remains wholly committed to the healthy development of football and will continue to undertake football development activities during the said inspection period, including the management and running of all FKF leagues across the country.

All ongoing projects including training of coaches and the planning and staging of the upcoming Harambee Starlets AWCON qualifiers against South Sudan, scheduled for October 20, 2021, and October 23, 2021, respectively, will continue uninterrupted.
