Published on June 17, 2020, the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) has been at the center of controversy in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) polls.
Two FKF officials, Lillian Kazungu and Gabriel Mughendi, have successfully secured a High Court order in Mombasa, barring the SDT from hearing and determining all cases related to the sport.
The order, which was granted on June 16, 2020, states that all proceedings against FKF at the SDT be stayed until June 29, 2020.
Among the cases affected by this order is one filed by the Kenyan Premier League against FKF for unprocedurally ending the top-flight football league in March and declaring Gor Mahia league champions.
SDT chairman John Ohaga was set to make a ruling at the end of this month, but the High Court order has put a halt to all proceedings.
Ohaga has also been meeting stakeholders in a 'Kamukunji' aimed at deliberating the way forward ahead of the repeat elections. FKF president Nick Mwendwa has blasted Ohaga for that move.
