Embattled Football Kenya Federation president Nicholas ‘Nick’ Mwendwa has made a comeback to the federation after he was kicked out of office following a directive by Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed who ordered investigations into the federation’s finances.
Mwendwa informed FIFA President Gianni Infantino in a letter dated Thursday, September 8, that he had resumed his role as Kenya’s football body’s president.
Mwendwa explained that the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) had dropped the charges against him.
“Following the withdrawal of charges by the Directorate of Public Prosecution on July 8, 2022. I hereby wish to inform you good office that I have resumed my duties as the FKF president with immediate effect,” reads the letter addressed to FIFA president Gianni Infantino.
Mwendwa has been out of office since November 2021, when he delegated his responsibilities to FKF vice president Doris Petra due to graft allegations.
His decision to step aside to allow investigations to conclude came after he lost his bid to halt his prosecution in a Sh38 million graft case.
His decision to resume duties is set to spark another wrangle with FKF Transition Committee, which was formed to take over his roles.Â
