Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed has accused seven members of the federation’s National Executive Committee (NEC) of frustrating its operations after their boycott disrupted a scheduled meeting.
Speaking to the media, Hussein maintained that Kenyan football would not be held hostage by internal wrangles, insisting that the federation’s competitions and development programmes would continue despite the leadership standoff.
The FKF boss said the absence of the seven NEC members stalled deliberations on key issues, including league competitions, the federation’s budget and football governance.
Despite the impasse, Hussein said his administration remained open to dialogue, urging the parties involved to pursue constructive engagement while respecting the federation’s constitutional framework.
He also defended his administration’s performance, pointing to increased league prize money, a SportPesa partnership worth more than KSh1 billion, and investments in grassroots and women’s football as some of the milestones achieved under his leadership.
Hussein further maintained that FKF would rely on its constitution and established internal dispute-resolution mechanisms to address the disagreements.
He noted that the federation’s Congress would ultimately determine the way forward, as efforts to resolve the internal divisions continue.
The latest developments highlight growing tensions within FKF’s leadership, raising questions about the impact of the dispute on football administration as the federation seeks to sustain league competitions and expand development programmes across the country.
