What you need to know:

  • Kenya is currently at rock bottom after being knocked out clean by the current administration and the only hope is left in the hands of the delegates who have the mandate to elect the right people to lead the ailing sport
  • We need free and fair polls, not influenced by nepotism, favouritisim or corrupt practices so that Kenya can go back to the old days when top clubs, Luo Union, AFC Leopards, Gor Mahia and Kenya Breweries (now Tusker) challenged teams from West and Northern Africa

By February next year Kenya will be having a new Football Kenya Federation (FKF) administration replacing the current management of Nick Mwendwa who has served for two terms.
