Suspended FKF President Hussein Mohamed has hit back at the decision to send him home, saying the move is unfair and based on wrong claims.
His response comes a day after the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) leadership announced his suspension over allegations linked to how money was handled during the 2025 CHAN tournament.
The FKF team said some Ksh42 million had been wrongly used while at the same time asking others including the acting CEO to vacate their offices.
However, on Saturday during his interview, Hussein denied that any money had been lost and called their allegations baseless.
He explained that the issue being raised is about insurance policy for the tournament, which had been followed according to regulations by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
According to him, it is CAF that handled and paid for the insurance cover for players during the competition.
“FKF did not pay any money to any insurance company for CHAN,” he said.
Hussein added that his critics’ claims form part of a strategy aimed at combating him for changes that he was advocating within the Kenyan football fraternity.
Hussein stated that he would cooperate with the investigating bodies but advised against the spread of any false claims in the open.
While the controversy is still ongoing, FKF has already appointed Deputy President MacDonald Mariga to act as president while the investigation proceeds.
In addition, the committee also ordered some of the FKF bank accounts that were under Hussein’s name to be suspended during the investigation period.
For now, the issue remains unresolved with each side sticking to its position.
