A consultative meeting between CS Amina Mohamed and Secretary General for FIFA Fatma Samoura has just taken place. As things stand, all government placed decisions on football management will remain in place and intact. The next meeting will be held in a week.

The National Assembly Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism has also scheduled to meet tomorrow Thursday 18th November, 2021 at 10.00am in the Committee Room on 4th floor, continental House.

The Agenda set to take centre stage will be a meeting between the Cabinet Secretary for Sports Amina Mohamed and the National Assembly regarding the Inquiry into management of the Football Kenya Federation. The mini-parliamentary body wants the minister to appear before them to shed more light on the FKF inspection. 

Amina has not appeared before the parliamentary committee since she was summoned after she ordered an audit - through the Sports Registrar - on the accounts of the Football Kenya Federation.

The installation of the normalisation committee saw Nick Mwendwa's administration consequently dissolved. The FA chief has also been arraigned in court to answer to charges of financial malpractices in a Nairobi Court. He was released by Milimani Senior Principal Wandia Nyamu after he was granted a bond of Ksh7 million, with two sureties or a cash bail of Ksh4 million, as well as two contact persons.

As the stand-off persists, the Aaron Ringera-led normalisation committee suspended the leagues for two weeks to allow a more coordinated way of running the competition under the new team. 

Locally, Amina's action of shelving off the Mwendwa regime and the appointment of the interim body was welcomed by a number of stakeholders including clubs like AFC Leopards and Posta Rangers, former players and former FKF officials, including Mwendwa's predecessor, Sam Nyamweya.
