The stakeholders’ meeting called by the transition committee experienced a poor turnout on Friday with most of the clubs opting to stay away.##NAJAVA_MECA_6633075##Twaha, who has been keen on succeeding Mwendwa as the federation boss has termed the move as contempt of court as the High Court ruled that Sports CS Amina Mohamed did not break any law in dissolving the federation.“Mwendwa challenged the dissolution of the FKF in the High Court and the court gave its verdict that the CS acted by the constitution of the land. It’s unfortunate Mwendwa is acting in contempt of court orders which he challenged,” he told the Star.OfficialNick Mwendwa is back as the Football Kenya Federation President.#KEFootball pic.twitter.com/ARCmpGFzaU— Ole Teya (@Kevin_teya) September 9, 2022 “By claiming FKF leadership, Mwendwa is operating illegally against the Sports Act and in contempt of court,”.The football administrator further argues that the corruption charges leveled against Mwendwa are yet to be dropped but interestingly Mwendwa is yet to take a plea in court.“FKF was dissolved due to claims of corruption and was not enrolled by the Registrar for failure to comply with the Sports Act as required by the Constitution of Kenya. In that regard, FKF stands dissolved. Audit report implicated FKF in funds embezzlement and a case is still pending in court,” Mbarak added.Exclusive: Former Homeboyz coach Bernard Mwalala set to take over at Ulinzi Stars
