Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Vice-President McDonald Mariga Wanyama has been removed from the federation’s National Executive Committee (NEC) alongside six other officials following a Special General Meeting held in Meru on Saturday.
The FKF General Assembly passed the resolutions after considering allegations that the seven officials had breached provisions of the federation’s Constitution.
Those affected are Mariga, Central NEC representative Robert Kenneth Macharia, Upper Rift Valley NEC member Bernard Korir Lagat, Women’s Representative Violet Kerubo Momanyi, Nyanza representative Collins Opiyo Kalee, Coast representative Gabriel Mghendi and Nairobi NEC member Daniel Akala Shikanda.
According to FKF, the General Assembly also examined an alleged NEC resolution dated April 24, 2026, which called for the removal of FKF President Hussein Mohammed and other federation officials.
FKF said the General Assembly acted within the powers granted to it under Articles 16 and 24 of the federation’s Constitution, which cover the expulsion of members and removal of NEC officials.
The federation further accused the seven of repeatedly missing NEC meetings that had been properly convened, communicating on behalf of FKF without authorisation and taking actions that it said were contrary to the FKF Constitution and relevant football regulations.
The Meru meeting was attended by representatives from FIFA and the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Acting Sports Registrar Chacha J. Maroa and officials from the State Department for Sports.
FKF said the resolutions were aimed at strengthening constitutional governance, accountability and stability within the federation and that more information would be issued regarding their implementation and the administrative changes that will follow.
The meeting, however, was preceded by disorder at the venue.
Police officers from the Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) entered the premises and fired tear gas inside the meeting room as delegates waited for the proceedings to begin.
FKF said the operation interrupted what it described as a constitutional process convened by members of the General Assembly under the federation’s Constitution.
The developments add another dramatic chapter to the ongoing leadership dispute within FKF, with the latest resolutions potentially reshaping the composition of the federation’s NEC.
