What you need to know:
- Lady Justice Olga Sewe allowed Mghendi to apply for a judicial review order to quash the directions and orders that had found FKF top officials culpable for acting against the law
- A similar case filed by FKF seeking to stop the SDT from making its ruling scheduled for Tuesday is pending at the Kiambu High Court
- This comes amid a move by the Sports Registrar Rose Wasike to bar Mwendwa and his deputy Doris Petra from prolonging their eight-year stay in office
The High Court has temporarily barred the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) from delivering a judgement in a contempt case against Football Kenya Federation’s top leadership.
The court, sitting in Mombasa, made the order Friday following an urgent application by Gabriel Mghendi, FKF’s National Executive Committee (NEC) member for the Coast region.
