In a significant development, the Magistrate Court of Kenya at Murang'a issued temporary injunctions in favor of the Murang'a Seals Football Club in its legal dispute against the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).

The case, identified as MCCC/E040/2024, was brought forward by Wilfred Mokaya Marori, challenging actions taken by FKF and Barry Otieno, ahead of the federation's Annual General Meeting (AGM).

Honourable M. E. Analo, in a ruling delivered on March 15, 2024, underscored the urgency of the matter. The court directed the applicant to serve the application upon the respondents and scheduled an inter-parties hearing for March 21, 2024.

However, pending the full hearing, the court issued temporary injunctions to maintain the status quo and prevent interference in the affairs of the Murang'a Seals Football Club.

"Pending the inter-parties hearing, a temporary injunction is granted against the 1st and 2nd respondents, their agents, and/or servants, restraining them from any interference with Murang'a Seals Football Club," stated Honourable M. E. Analo in the court order.

The court further ordered a cessation of any further interference by the respondents in the club's affairs, stressing the importance of stability within the organization ahead of its AGM.

"Pending the inter-parties hearing, a temporary injunction is issued against the respondents to cease any further interference in the affairs of Murang'a Seals Football Club," the order read.

Moreover, the court's decision included an order compelling the Nairobi Police County Commander to ensure compliance with the interim orders mentioned above, highlighting the seriousness of the situation and the court's commitment to upholding its decisions.

The legal dispute centers around the representation of Murang'a Seals Football Club at its forthcoming AGM. The temporary injunctions serve to protect the club's autonomy and ensure that its internal processes remain undisturbed during the legal proceedings.

In response to the court's decision, a representative of the Murang'a Seals Football Club expressed appreciation, stating, "We appreciate the court's swift action in addressing our concerns. This ruling affirms our right to conduct our affairs without external interference and allows us to focus on preparing for the AGM."

With the temporary injunctions in place, the Murang'a Seals Football Club can proceed confidently, knowing that the court has intervened to safeguard its interests. Stakeholders eagerly await the outcome of the impending inter-parties hearing, which is expected to shape the future governance of the club.
