July 22, 2019 - Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Nick Mwendwa has appointed Barry Omondi Otieno as the acting General Secretary of the national football governing body, effective immediately.
Barry Otieno, who has been the federation's Communications and Public Relations Manager since 2016, will now handle both roles until further notice.
The move comes after embattled SG Robert Muthomi announced on Sunday that he was stepping aside in the wake of the transfer saga involving Sofapaka ace John Avire.
According to Mwendwa, the FKF disciplinary committee will submit their report on investigations in about 40 days, and Muthomi's future will be known at that time.
"He (Muthomi) cannot be vilified until the due process is over," said Mwendwa.
Barry Otieno, a journalist by profession, was promoted to Communications and Marketing Manager in 2018 and has been a trained football coach since 2016.
