NEC orders Hussein Mohamed to step aside
FKF’s National Executive Committee ordered President Hussein Mohamed to step aside as investigations begin into alleged financial impropriety. The resolution was reportedly signed by 9 of the 14 NEC members. The NEC cited alleged financial impropriety, statutory breaches, conflict of interest and procurement concerns. The central claim involves about Ksh42 million linked to CHAN-related funds. Mohamed has not been declared guilty; the matter remains under investigation. Editor note: All allegations should be treated as claims pending the outcome of investigations, the forensic audit, and any official findings by FKF, national or international football bodies.
