Former Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Chief Executive Robert Muthomi has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the federation's Disciplinary Committee, but he's not done yet. On Tuesday, the committee ruled that there was no sufficient evidence to nail Muthomi in a case he was accused of abusing his office.
According to the ruling, the committee was unanimous in its decision, stating that there was 'insufficient adduce evidence' to prove that Muthomi abused his office.
However, the case that led to the investigation began in July when Sofapaka president Elly Kalekwa accused Muthomi of attempting to aid Harambee Stars striker John Avire to terminate his contract with Sofapaka and travel to Egypt to sign a better deal with Tanta FC.
Muthomi was forced to step aside as the federation's CEO in July and has since been under investigation. He has now threatened to sue Kalekwa for 'tainting' his name.
‘I have asked my lawyers to look into it. I reserve my rights to the action and this (taking legal action) could go further in helping me clear my name,’ Muthomi exclusively told Nairobi News.
FKF president Nick Mwendwa recently announced he had an agreement with Muthomi to relinquish his position regardless of the Disciplinary Committee's ruling, and the former Chief Executive has confirmed he doesn't want his job back.
