FKF Clears Ksh 1.9 Million Debt Owed to Former Harambee Stars Coach After Years of Delay

Former Harambee Stars head coach Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee has finally received long-awaited relief after the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) cleared the remaining debt owed to him by the previous administration.

Mulee had been owed Ksh 4.8 million in unpaid dues stemming from his time in charge of the national team. The issue had dragged on for years and became one of several financial disputes involving the former FKF leadership.

However, after the current federation leadership took office, the amount was gradually reduced, leaving Ksh 1.9 million still outstanding before it was eventually settled.

The former Harambee Stars coach explained that the issue of his unpaid dues with the Football Kenya Federation dated back to 2013 when he was serving as the federation’s technical director.

He said the situation had been frustrating for many years because he had received numerous assurances from the previous leadership that the matter would be addressed, yet the payment never materialised.

Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee noted that the situation only began to move toward resolution after the current FKF administration took office under president Hussein Mohammed. He revealed that he had personally discussed the matter with the federation boss, who promised to review the long-standing claim and ensure it was handled appropriately.

The veteran coach added that although the process took some time, he was relieved that the federation eventually honoured the commitment and settled the outstanding amount.

“Actually, my debt with the federation has run from 2013, when I was the technical director, and I was very disappointed because then, there had been many promises,” Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee told FKF Media.

“Since the new federation came in, I spoke with the president, Hussein, and he told me that he’s going to look into the matter, and I’m so happy that it has taken a bit of time, but finally, the bill has been settled.

“I want to thank the president for coming in and keeping his word. He just instructed the people in the federation to check on the matter, and they have cleared it.”

The former Tusker FC coach further expressed satisfaction with the current efforts of the Football Kenya Federation to improve football in Kenya, particularly highlighting the federation’s focus on talent scouting and broader development initiatives.

He said that he sees many positive changes taking place and is optimistic that the new administration represents a fresh start for Kenyan football.

According to him, the recent resolution of his own debt has given him peace of mind and reinforced his confidence in the federation’s commitment to transparency and accountability.

Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee further encouraged other stakeholders with outstanding claims to come forward, explaining that if they provide proper documentation or proof, the federation is willing to address and settle the matters promptly.

“I’m happy with what the federation is doing in terms of improving Kenyan football and the scouting of talent. There are a lot of positive things happening; I want to believe that this is a new beginning for Kenyan football. I’m now settled in my mind,” he added.

“If there are any pending bills you have, just tell them. If you have proof, just let them know, and they will take care of it. When the federation honours their promise, that builds a lot of confidence.”
