Football Kenya Federation National Executive Committee (NEC) members Murithi Nabea and Dabar Ahmedqadar representing Eastern and North Eastern regions respectively have condemned the FKF delegates’ pressing briefing held on Friday morning at the Sportview Hotel in Nairobi, at the same time throwing weight behind Murang’a Seal in their attempt to send Vice Chairman Hussein Mohammed to the FKF Annual General Meeting (AGM) set for Saturday.##NAJAVA_MECA_7958799##In a press release sent to media houses on Friday evening, the duo terms the emergency press conference mediocrity aimed at diverting attention from pressing issues such as the disappearance of COVID funds, the mismanagement of the FIFA for School balls program, and the hosting of CHAN in 2024.“When we heard about the emergency press conference, we anticipated a discussion on crucial matters, such as the OB van fiasco, the disappearance of COVID funds, the mismanagement of the FIFA for school balls program, and the hosting of CHAN in 2024. These are pressing issues that demand attention and transparency,” reads part of the statement.”We, as duly elected members of the Football Kenya Federation representing the North Eastern and Eastern regions, unequivocally condemn this diversion from pressing issues.”FKF governance crisis deepens as key members lodge complaints with FIFAThe duo, who are not new to questioning the football body in the country over the running of the sport, said that it is the fundamental right of clubs to choose their representatives for events such as the AGM as enshrined in the FKF constitution.FKF delegates breathing fire ahead of Saturday’s AGM“The FKF Constitution serves as the bedrock of our organization, outlining clear guidelines and regulations for the conduct of meetings, including the AGM. It is abundantly clear that clubs possess the fundamental right to choose their representatives for such gatherings, a principle enshrined in our constitution.”“The attempt to disallow Murang’a SEAL FC from sending Vice Chairman Hussein Mohammed as their representative flagrantly disregards this constitutional provision. Any assertion that Mr. Mohammed’s attendance is “ineligible” is baseless and lacks merit, particularly when it comes from individuals whose authority does not extend to dictating clubs’ choices of representation.”“We stand in solidarity with Murang’a SEAL FC and any other club exercising their rights under the FKF Constitution. We must uphold the integrity of our organization by respecting its founding principles and ensuring that all members are treated fairly and under established rules.”Nabea and Ahmedqadar urge football stakeholders to uphold the spirit of unity and cooperation as they navigate the crucial discussions and decisions set to take place on Saturday during the AGM.“We urge all members of the Football Kenya Federation to uphold the spirit of unity and cooperation as we navigate the crucial discussions and decisions set to take place at the upcoming AGM. Let us honor the principles of transparency, inclusivity, and respect for the rule of law, which are paramount to the continued progress and success of our beloved sport,” concluded the statement.I will turn things around – Mombasa Elite tactician Phelix Ogutu
