AFC Leopards chairman Dan Shikanda has thanked Sports CS Amina Mohammed for disbanding Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and forming a caretaker committee to run football affairs in the country for the next six months.This came after an audit carried out at the federation by the sports registrar. According to the report, massive funds misappropriation was detected, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) have since taken up the matter for further investigations.Meanwhile, Shikanda, who’s had a frosty relationship with the FKF chiefs over the last few years has welcomed the decision to disband the federation. The former Gor Mahi and AFC Leopards forward went on to wish the committee well as they prepare to take charge of the game.“I want to thank the government through the sports cabinet secretary Ambassador Amina Mohammed for disbanding FKF and installing a caretaker committee. I also take this opportunity to congratulate the committee and wish them well as they steer the ship forward and upward,” he told Citizen.Huyu Dan Shikanda wa AFC Leopards akipewa more airtime kwa media karibu atasound kama Haji Manara 😭 @KTNNewsKE— dennis (@kib3tt) November 15, 2021 Shikanda went ahead to announce that he will not be taking any directions from the federation and will solely cooperate with the caretaker committee.“It will be very wrong if the FKF will give us their fixture because we will not show up for those matches. We will wait for the way forward from the government (FKF Caretaker Committee) communication because we are using the government stadiums be it at the national or grassroots level. The caretaker committee will only be in charge of football affairs for only six months after which if the FKF bosses will be found guilty by the law then elections will be held,” he added.The football boss also faulted the scheduling of Ingwe’s live matches at 1 PM. All games aired by the broadcaster have been scheduled for 1 pm and Ingwe alongside their arch-rivals Gor Mahia have been up in arms urging the federation to allow them to host their matches from at least 3 PM so as to improve on attendance.
