The High Court in Kiambu has issued orders restraining the National Executive Committee Football Kenya Federation from removing Hussein Mohamed as president and Abdullahi Yussuf as committee member.
Justice Bahati Mwamuye issued the orders pending the hearing and determination of a petition filed by Ibrahim.
“A conservatory order be and is hereby issued restraining the respondent from suspending, removing, or in any other way interfering with the petitioner/applicant’s office and position at the Football Kenya Federation (FKF), the National Executive Committee, and/or related offices/bodies,” the judge ruled.
The court also ruled that the purported meeting and/or resolutions of 24th April 2026, in so far as they directed or purported to direct the Petitioner to step aside from membership of the National Executive Committee, violated Articles 10, 27, 28, 35, 41, 47 and 50 of the Constitution.
The judge further ordered “in the event that any such adverse action and/or decision has already been taken the same be and is hereby stayed and the status quo ante operating immediately before the said action or decision be and is hereby restored by Order of this Court pending the inter partes hearing and determination of the petitioner/applicant’s notice of motion application dated 26/04/2026.”
According to the petitioner, the said resolutions were premised upon allegations of financial impropriety, including alleged misappropriation of Sh 42 million said to be funds related to the concluded CHAN tournament organized by the Confederation of African Football, allegations of conflict of interest, and alleged breaches of the Public Procurement and Asset Disposal legal framework, among them non-competitive procurement of goods and services.
The petitioner claims that the said National Executive Committee meeting further resolved that the Deputy President of FKF, Macdonald Mariga, assume the roles and responsibilities of the president in an acting capacity, pending alleged completion of investigations and a forensic audit into the affairs of the Federation.
Ibrahim argued that FKFs impugned resolutions dated 24th April 2026 were made in breach of the Fair Administrative Action Act, the rules of natural justice, legitimate expectation, procedural fairness and the rule of law.
