FIFA rejects suspension of FKF President Hussein Mohammed
The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has rejected the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) National Executive Committee’s move to suspend FKF President Hussein Mohammed, alongside Dennis Gicheru and Abdulahi Yusuf Ibrahim.
In a letter to FKF’s NEC, Chief Member Associations Officer Elkhan Mammadov said the suspension of the three FKF officials was unconstitutional.
Mammadov noted that the procedure followed in the matter failed to meet the requirements outlined in Article 41 of the FKF Constitution.
“In particular, the information and documentation provided do not demonstrate that the applicable procedural requirements were respected.
“FIFA therefore categorically rejects the procedure that has been followed in this matter,” read the statement in part.
The FIFA official explained that any move requiring an FKF official to step aside on a mandatory basis amounts to a form of provisional suspension and must strictly follow the due process provisions set out in Article 41 of the FKF Constitution.
Mammadov made it clear that FIFA cannot recognize decisions taken outside the FKF’s constitution.

“FIFA is not in a position to recognise decisions taken by certain members of the National Executive Committee that were not adopted in full compliance with Article 41 and the related procedural provisions of the FKF Constitution,” he stated.
The world football governing body cautioned FKF NEC officials against hastily taking actions that affect the federation’s leadership and administration.
FIFA warned that any FKF officials found to have breached the FKF Constitution, rules, and regulations could face disciplinary action by the federation’s judicial bodies.
“Finally, we recall that any actions taken by Members of FKF or by members of FKF bodies in breach of the FKF Constitution, rules and regulations may expose the individuals concerned to consequences, including potential disciplinary measures, as provided for under the FKF Constitution and applicable regulations, which may be taken by the competent judicial bodies of FKF, which are exclusively empowered to address such matters in accordance with the principles of due process,” Mammadov added.
