The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has encountered a setback following a High Court ruling on Tuesday that extended an injunction against the National Executive Committee (NEC) from conducting any activities, including the convening of general meetings.
The court order will remain in effect until October 7, 2024.
This legal development means that the FKF cannot hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) or any Special General Meeting (SGM), both of which are pivotal to the federation's electoral process.
The court's order includes a penal notice, warning that any disobedience or non-compliance will result in severe penal consequences.
This ruling comes just two days after FKF President Nick Mwendwa announced that all court cases against the federation had been resolved.
The timing of the court's decision puts the FKF leadership, particularly Mwendwa, under intense scrutiny and pressure.
The inability to hold these critical meetings could stall the federation's operations and governance, creating uncertainty within Kenyan football.
The AGM and SGM are essential for addressing key issues, including elections, financial reporting, and policy decisions.
Observers are closely watching how the FKF will navigate this challenging period and whether further legal manoeuvres will be employed to address the injunction.
The outcome of this legal battle will likely have far-reaching implications for the future of football administration in Kenya.
