FKF have maintained they were allowed back into office via an announcement by the Sports Cabinet Secretary.
The government has already informed Mwendwa in writing that he is not eligible to vie for a third term in office.
Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has moved to the High Court seeking orders to have the Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT) blocked from delivering a judgment on a contempt case against the federation’s top leadership.
In the case filed at the Kiambu Law Courts on Monday, FKF, its president Nick Mwendwa, 45, General Secretary Barry Otieno, and 11 others, have, among other prayers, asked the court to quash an earlier ruling by the Sports Dispute Tribunal that removal of the FKF officials from office in 2021 stopped them from acting in anyway on behalf of the federation.
