In a letter to the federation dated February 1, Sports Registrar Rose Wasike also barred National Executive Committee Members Murithi Nabae (Eastern), Joseph Andere (Nyanza) and Enos Kweya (Western)
A confident Petra said she respects government institutions but at the same time insists that there is no law barring them from seeking what she said is a second term in office
The veteran football administrator warned that interfering with the federation elections will draw the wrath of Fifa and another ban is in the offing should issues go that direction
“Let our opponents not fear and meet us at the ballot, Fifa haven’t told us that we are not eligible for re-election. The law allows us to vie.”
These were the words of Football Kenya Federation Vice President Doris Petra after the government asserted that herself, her boss, FKF President Nick Mwendwa are ineligible for re-election.
