  • Philip Nyingi Maina, Jeremiah Mwangi, and Moses Otieno Okumu argue that the current NEC members are in office illegally having been disbanded by former Sports CS Amina Mohammed through a Gazette notice on November 12, 2021.
  • The trio claim that the ousted NEC officials broke into the offices of the Federation on November 4, 2022, claiming they had been reinstated by then CS but the said reinstatement was never gazetted as required or any other lawful or legal mechanisms used to bring them back to office.

Three people have petitioned the High Court to stop the government from further disbursement of funds to the National Executive Committee of the Football Federation Kenya (FKF) stating the office bearers are illegally in office.
