On May 21, 2020, Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa was questioned by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over alleged misappropriation of public funds.
According to sources, Mwendwa arrived at the Kiambu Road-based DCI offices at 9am, where he was expected to respond to inquiries about how the federation spent Sh244 million allocated by the government to prepare Harambee Stars for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
The federation, under Mwendwa's leadership since 2016, is also under scrutiny over a Sh4 million invoice reportedly sent to the Ministry of Sports in the run-up to Harambee Stars' 2021 Africa Nations Cup qualification match against Egypt in Alexandria last November.
Additionally, there have been concerns over the actual position of the Outside Broadcast (OB) Van purchased by Fifa at a tune of Sh125 million to develop Kenyan football, but the vehicle has never been delivered.
