What you need to know:
- Manoj, and Obuya or any person acting on their behalf are now not allowed to access CK offices or utilise the federation’s assets.
- The government and ICC, following meetings with the warring factions last week, called for the CK members to resolve their differences.
The Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) has barred embattled Cricket Kenya (CK) chairman Manoj Patel, and Counties Representative Kennedy Obuya from transacting any business on behalf of the sports body until a case filed against them is heard and determined.
The orders were issued on October 3 following a petition filed by seven CK board members namely, Chief Executive Officer Ronald Bukusi, Development Director Thomas Odoyo, Director Women’s Cricket Pearlyne Omamo, Mary Maina, Berly Oyugi Tariq Iqbal and Pauline Njeru.
