What you need to know:

  • The Office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) on Thursday confirmed this stance and attributed it to new evidence gathered against the former football boss
  • Senior Assistant Directorate of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) Joseph Riungu said Mwendwa, who stepped down from the role as FKF president in November 2021, will take plea on Monday
  • The arrest of Mwendwa may experience some hiccups due to the tag of war between the office of the DPP and that of the DCI over the drafting and signing of charges against suspects


The freedom of embattled Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa is short-lived as he is required to answer fresh charges at Kiambu Law Court.

Mwendwa, who is being sought by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), is scheduled to appear before the Anti-corruption Court in the Kiambu County Court.
