FKF President Hussein Mohammed Dismisses Suspension, Denies Role in CHAN Insurance Scandal

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed has strongly dismissed reports of his suspension from office, terming the meeting that led to the decision as unconstitutional and irregular.

In a firm statement, Hussein argued that the alleged meeting did not follow the procedures outlined in the Football Kenya Federation Constitution, rendering any resolutions made null and void.

“The purported meeting was not convened in accordance with the FKF Constitution; it is therefore irregular and unconstitutional. Any decision from that meeting is null and void,” he stated.

At the same time, the FKF boss addressed allegations surrounding a reported KSh42 million insurance scandal linked to the African Nations Championship 2025 preparations.

Hussein clarified that the procurement of insurance for the tournament was handled directly by the Confédération Africaine de Football (CAF), in line with the official host agreement governing the competition.

“The insurance cover for CHAN 2025 was procured by CAF, not myself, and was fully secured throughout the tournament,” he explained.

He further dismissed claims that FKF had transferred or paid any funds to insurance providers, insisting that no financial loss occurred in the process.

“Contrary to malicious reports, FKF did not pay any money to any insurance company for CHAN. All services were delivered as per the tournament requirements and the signed host agreement,” he added.

Hussein maintained that all measures taken met CAF’s strict standards, emphasizing that insurance is a critical requirement to safeguard players, officials, and stakeholders during international competitions.

The developments come amid growing scrutiny within Kenyan football administration, with stakeholders closely monitoring the unfolding leadership dispute and financial accountability concerns within FKF.
