The County Sports Association has petitioned the Senate to expedite the dissolution of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) National Executive Committee and the subsequent election of a new team.
The petition, presented to the House by Mombasa Senator Mohamed Faki, also accused Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba of violating court orders regarding FKF.
The petitioners asked senators to recommend that the FKF Constitution be aligned with Kenyan and international sports laws as ratified by Kenya.
The association noted that FKF is a registered national sports organization, and since the year 2018, it has never had elections as required under the Sports Act, 2013.
It further noted that in November 2021, FKF National Executive Committee was dismissed from office by the then Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and Heritage and replaced with a caretaker committee because of the violation of the Sports Act, 2013.
“The Cabinet Secretary for Sports has continued to act in violation of the High Court and the Sports Dispute Tribunal judgments and rulings respectively, and has declined to facilitate the Office of the Sports Registrar to conduct county-wide football association elections,” they said.
The County Sports Association added that it is yet to benefit from the Sports Arts and Social Development Fund established under the Public Finance Management Act, Regulations 2018.
