On November 11, 2021, Football Kenya Federation (FKF) boss Nick Mwendwa defied a caretaker committee installed by Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed, vowing to stay in office.
Mwendwa accused CS Amina of rushing to remove him from office without giving him a chance to correct any perceived wrongdoing.
“Even when she says she has received the report, the inspectors never communicated anything wrong to us as required by the act and as we always thought she has rushed to install a committee. It’s a flawed process that had an end in mind by the Minister. I think she wants to rush removing me from office before she leaves in a couple of months,” Mwendwa said in a statement.
He further stated that CS Amina's actions were a disservice to Kenya, as she lacked understanding of the football industry.
Mwendwa assured that the FKF would continue to discharge its duties and had already informed FIFA of the situation, awaiting their response.
