“The Office of the President of Football Kenya Federation is not synonymous with the National Executive Committee”, the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) has ruled.

The landmark ruling could now have far-reaching implications on decisions taken by the outgoing FKF president Nick Mwendwa since his term of office expired on February 10 this year such as declaring Gor Mahia champions of the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) for the 2019/2020 season on April 30.
