What you need to know:

  • Kiambu Senior Principal Magistrate Wilson Rading, who has since been transferred to Naivasha, cleared Mwendwa of all charges saying the case against him was unlawful, unconstitutional, unfounded and an abuse of court process
  • Nation Sport could not get any comment from Mwendwa or FKF CEO Barry Otieno with phone calls and text messages to the two going unanswered
  • Former FKF secretary general Lordvick Aduda said it was now time for the resolutions reached by Fifa and the Sports CS to be made public so that the leadership and management of the federation is clear

Football stakeholders now want Sports Cabinet Secretary Ababu Namwamba to make public the details of the agreement with Fifa that led to the world football body lifting Kenya’s international suspension.

They also want to know if the deal included Nick Mwendwa returning to the held of Football Kenya Federation.
