Elsewhere, uncertainty surrounds the KVF National elections scheduled for July 30 at Nyayo National Stadium.
KVF National Executive Committee Saturday held a meeting to brainstorm on the federation's readiness to hold the polls.
The federation last month conformed to Sports Act 2013, where its branches would now be county-based.
An official who was in the meeting but sought anonymity said the polls might fail to take off.
"The election date is fast-approaching but none of the 47 counties have forwarded their registration for validation. The registrar of sports demands that at least 24 counties should have registered before the national elections but until Saturday's meeting, none of the counties had registered," said the source.
