I’m still in Charge of FKF, We don’t Recognize CS Amina’s Decision Says Nick Mwendwa

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) chairperson Nick Mwendwa has vowed to oppose the take-over of FKF by a caretaker committee appointed by Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed.

I’m still in Charge of FKF, We don’t Recognize CS Amina’s Decision Says Nick Mwendwa

In a press conference held at the La Mada Hotel on Thursday, November 11, Nick Mwendwa said he “rejects and rebukes” the appointment of the 15-member committee to run FKF operations on the back of graft investigations.

“We won’t accept that decision [by the Sports ministry],” he said.

Mwendwa said FKF reports to its regulator, FIFA, and not the Ministry of Sports.

“We [the ousted FKF officials] shall remain in charge, and football will continue in this country [under our leadership],” he said.

According to the embattled FKF chairperson, the federation “is not part of the Sports Ministry or the Kenyan Government”.

“FKF conforms to FIFA statutes. We reject this move [by the Sports ministry to disband the federation]. No football member should uphold or listen to them.”
