FKF President Hussein Mohammed Breaks Silence on Dispute With CEO Harold Ndege

Football Kenya Federation president Hussein Mohammed has broken his silence amid the ongoing case involving the federation and its chief executive officer, Harold Ndege.

In a letter dated December 31, 2025, and signed by Hussein Mohammed, the FKF formally levelled 21 charges against Ndege, marking a significant escalation in the internal dispute.

The accusations span a wide range of operational areas, including the preparation and management of national teams, the development of youth football structures, the handling of international relations, as well as concerns related to financial management and administrative oversight.

Among the issues highlighted in the letter, FKF placed responsibility on Harold Ndege for the Under-17 national team’s disappointing performance at the CECAFA Championships, attributing the poor showing to inadequate planning, weak organisation, and insufficient preparation.

The move has since triggered a strong reaction from the public, particularly on social media, where fans and stakeholders have voiced their frustration.

Many have questioned how an administration that rose to power on promises of transparency, accountability, and reform could find itself embroiled in such a high-profile internal conflict so early in its tenure.

In a post on his X (Twitter) handle, the FKF president stated that his leadership has always been guided by strong ethical values and open governance.

He said his focus is firmly on long-term progress and on uniting stakeholders around a shared goal of elevating the sport locally.

He explained that meaningful progress cannot be achieved unless difficult decisions are taken to confront poor performance, weak leadership, and unethical conduct within football management structures.

According to Hussein Mohammed, the sport has suffered for years due to the acceptance of subpar practices and a culture that allowed inefficiency to persist unchecked.

“I ran on the pillars of integrity, transparency and accountability. I intend to stay true to my manifesto and promise to achieve our collective vision of making Kenya a great footballing Nation,” Hussein Mohammed said.

“If we are to compete with the best in the world, we must decisively and fearlessly deal with incompetence, mediocrity, corruption and ineptitude in the administration of football.

“For too long, we have normalised and tolerated low standards in our institutions. This must stop. The reform agenda shall be a painful process that will take time, but it can and must be done.”
