What you need to know:

  • He was promoted after Muthomi resigned over claims of over transfer controversy involving former Sofapaka striker John Avire to an unnamed club in Egypt.
  • Sofapaka then questioned why Muthomi, a federation official, was involved in taking Avire to Egypt without their consent and claimed that went against the ethical code of conduct of the position he held at the federation.

Former Football Kenya Federation Secretary General Barry Otieno has announced his presidential bid in the national polls slated for December 7.

Otieno said his campaign will be anchored on implementing four pillars which are club empowerment, improved governance, holistic development, and grassroots glory.
