Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed has opened up about his strained relationship with former Deputy President McDonald Mariga, accusing him of harbouring ambitions to take over the federation’s leadership.
Speaking about their fallout, Hussein claimed that Mariga wanted to become FKF president and had allegedly been working towards pushing him aside despite serving as his deputy.
“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,” Hussein stated.
The FKF boss further accused the former Harambee Stars midfielder of wanting everything within the federation to revolve around him, questioning why he would allow such a situation when he had been elected president.
“He wanted everything to revolve around him. I was elected president, and he was my deputy, so why would I allow that?” he posed.
Hussein’s remarks shine a spotlight on the reported power struggles within FKF’s leadership, with the relationship between the federation president and his former deputy emerging as a source of controversy.
