Except for Otieno, all the other candidates who attended the debate voiced their concerns about the independence of the Electoral Board, citing its operation from Kandanda House in Nairobi, which s also the headquarters of the FKF.
“So long as they are managing all their businesses at Kandanda House, then there is a big problem. They need to be independent, they need to move out of that place,” said Ochola.
The independence of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Electoral Board dominated the FKF presidential debate on Monday night at the College of Insurance, South C in Nairobi.
The candidates who attended the debate were former Kenya international Sam ‘Kempes’ Owino, Gor Mahia’s Secretary General Sam Ochola, Murang’a Seal vice chairman Hussein Mohammed, sports administrator Tom Alila, Kakamega Homeboyz chairman Cleophas Shimanyula, and former FKF Secretary General Barry Otieno.
