  • Nine out of 14 FKF NEC members voted to suspend the three over allegations of fraud.
  • But Hussein Mohammed secured court orders blocking his removal from office.

The world football governing body, Fifa, has rejected the suspension of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president, Hussein Mohammed; the acting general secretary, Dennis Gicheru; and the nominated FKF National Executive Committee member, Abdulahi Yusuf Ibrahim, saying it was unconstitutional.

In a letter addressed to the FKF's National Executive Committee (NEC) and seen by Nation Sport, Fifa stated that the suspension of the three individuals was not carried out in accordance with the FKF constitution.
