Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed has announced the suspension of all Football Kenya Federation (FKF) officials to pave way for investigations into the federation’s finances. A 15-member caretaker team, headed by retired judge Aaron Ringera, will be in charge of operations at the federation for six months as the probe continues.

The committee recommended, among others, the removal of all FKF officials from office to pave way for investigations into the federation’s finances. It’s also recommended that the DCI, NIS and EACC carry out further investigation to establish the extent to which the misappropriation of funds in FKF may have occurred with a view of prosecuting those who may be found culpable.

A special audit of the books of accounts of FKF will also be carried out and subsequent frequent future audits taken. No bank account should be opened by FKF henceforth unless authorised by the [Sports] principal secretary within the six-month period the caretaker committee will be in place. At the same time, FKF won’t receive funds from the Sports ministry, unless and until the previous funds are fully accounted for.

Members of the FKF caretaker team are Justice (Rtd.) Aaron Ringera, General (Rtd.) Moses Oyugi, Fatma Adan (Hodi), Philip Musyimi Mue, Anthony L. Isayi, Elisha Chepchieng Kiplagat, Hassan Mahmoud Haji, Fredrick Tureisa Lekesike, Mwangi Muthee, Neddy Atieno Okoth, Ali Amour, Titus Kasuve, Richard Omwela, Bobby Ogola and J.J. Masiga.
