Published on September 12, 2019, FIFA has brought together a team of experts to help reform the scandal-ridden Confederation of African Football (CAF). Among them is Kenyan lawyer Janet Katisya.
Former foreign minister of Mali Abdoulaye Diop, Hossam El Shafei (Egypt), Martin Ngoga (Rwanda), and Ghanaian judge Anin Yeboah are also part of the reform implementation task force.
As a member of the FIFA Ethics Committee, Katisya serves in the Investigatory Chambers, which probes breaches in Ethics in Football management. She was elected to this position in 2017.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino expressed his confidence in the task force, saying, "You members of the task force are the foundation from which the future African football will be built. We count on your support, your passion, and innovation."
The meeting discussed key topics, including auditing, transparency, compliance, competition organization, and growth and development of African football.
The administration of CAF was taken over by FIFA general secretary Fatma Samoura on August 1, following allegations of corruption and sexual harassment against CAF president Ahmad Ahmad.
