Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed on Tuesday held consultative talks with Nyanza delegates in Nairobi, culminating in a firm resolution on the future of FKF CEO Harold Ndege.
According to resolutions reached at the meeting, Ndege will be dismissed if he fails to tender his resignation by January 15, the date scheduled for the next FKF National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.
To avoid a potentially contentious removal, a section of NEC members has been mandated to engage Ndege and persuade him to step aside voluntarily ahead of the meeting. The move signals growing internal pressure within the federation over the CEO’s continued stay in office.
Interim CEO Plan
FKF has already mapped out the next steps should Ndege exit, with plans underway to appoint an interim CEO before launching a formal recruitment process for a substantive office holder.
Several names have emerged as possible interim replacements, reflecting a mix of administrative, financial, and governance expertise within and around the federation:
Maqulate Onyango – Vice Chairperson, FKF Referees Committee
Luthers Mokua – Chairperson, FKF Finance Committee
Athanas Obala – FKF Head of Projects and National Teams
Bob Collins Otieno “Bob Junior” – Wadau Premier League CEO and corporate governance expert
A Defining Moment for FKF
The developments point to a critical transition period for FKF, as President Hussein Mohammed seeks to steady the federation’s leadership and restore confidence among stakeholders. The January 15 NEC meeting is now shaping up to be a decisive moment that could redefine the federation’s administrative direction going forward.
All eyes will be on whether Harold Ndege opts to resign or faces an outright dismissal—and who ultimately takes charge of FKF in the interim.
