The fall of Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Rashid Mohammed did not come from the boot of a player or the whistle of a referee. It came from a paper.

On April 24, the FKF National Executive Committee, led by Vice President Macdonald Mariga Wanyama, passed a resolution forcing Mohammed, nominated NEC member Abdullahi Yussuf Ibrahim, and acting General Secretary Dennis Gicheru to step aside pending investigations into alleged financial impropriety.
