On March 17, the Sports Disputes Tribunal ruled that Nick Mwendwa's term as FKF president had ended in February, and requested FIFA to appoint a normalization committee.
However, the Tribunal has now suspended its decision on an application to protect FKF assets, citing two High Court applications filed on May 20 and 27, respectively.
According to the Tribunal chair, John Ohaga, the delay is necessary to respond to the collateral challenges raised in the two cases.
Ohaga will now deliver the ruling on May 28.
"The tribunal recognizes the concerted efforts being made to divert its focus and to attempt to neuter it and will remain steadfast in exercising its jurisdiction to hear and determine matters brought before it whilst treating each party fairly, acting with integrity and in the best interest of the sporting committee," Ohaga said.
More than 50 football clubs, represented by lawyer Charles BG Ouma, have filed an application at the Nairobi High Court's Judicial Review Division, seeking orders to protect FKF assets from being wasted, alienated, and abused by Mwendwa and his team.
The clubs also want the tribunal to direct the National Transport Authority (NTSA) to allow caveats to be placed on all vehicles belonging to the national football body as a way of preserving them pending a solution on the leadership stalemate.
