The Football Kenya Federation Caretaker Committee has come out to clearly outline the measures all football stakeholders should take so as to continue running football matters nationwide.
The Committee has directed football clubs and associations to fully comply with the Sports Act 2013 in order to be allowed to operate.
In a statement, clubs were instructed to only work with the branches and associations that are fully compliant with the Sport Act.
"The committee calls upon all clubs and associations to ensure that they fully comply with the requirements of the Sports Act to be able to run football activities at the grassroots level. Clubs are further advised to deal with branches and associations that are compliant and where in doubt, to verify this information with the Sports Registrar,” Anthony Luyundi, the Vice Chairman, Competitions and League Committee, said.
Luyundi who is also the Committee Head of Finance has emphasised that all County Associations, Branches and any other organisation running football affairs in the country should know they are subordinate to the FKF Caretaker Committee.
The Committee will soon embark on grass root tours across the country to engage clubs and stakeholders on matters involving the game.
"The committee will shortly embark on a grass root tour across the country to engage clubs and football stakeholders with the view of streamlining all the football activities at the grass root level."
“For the avoidance of doubt, all county associations, branches and any other organisations running the affairs of football are subordinate to the FKF Caretaker Committee and we are available to clarify any pertinent issues concerning the directives,” added Luyundi.
The committee has also stated that clubs in the Kenyan Premier League will each get a Ksh 300,000 grant to help them with logistics in the league.
“National Super League clubs will each get Ksh 250,000. Clubs in the Women Premier League, due to kick off on December 18th will each get Ksh 300,000 while the women clubs in Division One will each get Ksh 250,000,” Luyundi added.
Last month, Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed disbanded the Football Kenya Federation and appointed the panel to run Kenyan football for 6 months.
Immediate former FKF president Nick Mwendwa had since left his role as Kenya's football head and transferred his functions to his deputy Doris Petra, a move that has been deemed null and void by Justice Aaron Ringera.
