Mwendwa, please just leave, your time in football is up
Football Kenya Federation president Nick Mwendwa in Cairo during a Confederation of African Football ceremony to announce the winning bids for the 2025 and 2027 Africa Cup of Nations on September 27, 2023.
On February 1, the government declared that current Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa is ineligible to vie for a third term in this year’s football polls
Even former President Mwai Kibaki exited gracefully and did not seek to extend his term after the promulgation of the New Constitution in 2010

On February 1, the government declared that current Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa is ineligible to vie for a third term in this year’s football polls. There may be kind words from some quarters for the man, but not from me. He has made a mess of millions of young Kenyan footballers’ careers and should not wait for anyone, much less the Sports Registrar, to point out the obvious fact that he needs to walk away.
