The Football Kenya Federation Caretaker Committee has on Thursday met with representatives from the Football Kenya Federation Premier League clubs in a consultative meeting aimed at dissecting the draft constitution the Committee has been handling.Among other changes proposed by the Committee is the amendment to Article 23, Clause 1(h) giving all the FKF Women Premier League Clubs the eligibility to vote as opposed to three representatives as it is at the moment.In the meeting held at Nyayo Stadium board room, Committee Chairman Rtd Justice Aaron Ringera said that the exercise would go on on Friday and Saturday with other stakeholders drawn from different levels with an aim of coming up with a constitution that conforms to that of Kenya, the Sports Act, as well as the FIFA statutes.”We were charged with, among other things, looking at a good foundation for Kenyan football going forward and the foundation of governance in football is the FKF constitution. We have been thinking together with stakeholders and we will continue this exercise tomorrow with all stakeholders with a view of having a constitution that conforms with the constitution of Kenya, the Sports Act, and the FIFA statutes. A constitution that contains and honors the values of good governance, accountability, gender equity, and equality in it. A constitution that takes into account the expanding space of football among both men and women and the flourishing of clubs in Kenya,” the Chairman said after the meeting.EARLIER TODAY | The FKF Caretaker Committee held a consultative meeting on the FKF Draft Constitution with Kenya Premier League club representatives. pic.twitter.com/yo03JgToW6— FKFcaretaker (@FKFcaretaker) April 21, 2022 According to Article 24 of the existing FKF Constitution, only the General Assembly can adopt or amend ‘the Constitution, Regulations Governing the Application of the Constitution, and the Standing Orders of the General Assembly’ and Justice Ringera is hoping that the changes will be passed by the FKF General Assembly.”The draft was shared with the stakeholders who were here and we have collected their comments, we will do the same thing with other stakeholders and come up with a document that can be validated by all stakeholders and which after our term ends can be adopted by the General Assembly of FKF,” he added.HAPPENING NOW | FKF CC Chairman Justice (Rtd) Aaron Ringera leads a consulative meeting with Kenyan Premier League clubs at the Nyayo National Stadium pic.twitter.com/54EkRHnos0— FKFcaretaker (@FKFcaretaker) April 21, 2022 The Committee has been running football activities in the country since November 11 and is on its last days with its time set to expire next month, thus is rushing against time to see to it that they deliver what they were mandated to do, with a section of Kenyan’s feeling that they have performed below par.
