The Football Kenya Federation (FKF) has been plunged into a leadership crisis following the controversial suspension of President Hussein Mohamed over allegations involving the misappropriation of over **42 million shillings**.

While the FKF national executive has moved to install Vice President McDonald Mariga as the acting head, Mohamed is not going down without a fight, labeling the move a “constitutional hit job.”

The Allegations and Suspension
According to official communications from the federation, Mohamed was sidelined to allow for an uninterrupted investigation into the missing funds. The transition to Mariga’s leadership was framed as a necessary step to maintain institutional integrity.

However, the move has ignited a firestorm within the sports fraternity, with supporters of the embattled president claiming the charges are politically motivated.

Mohamed’s Rebuttal:

“An Illegal Gathering”
In a defiant response, Hussein Mohamed dismissed the meeting that sanctioned his removal as a sham. Citing the procedural requirements for public and official assemblies, Mohamed pointed to the strict legal frameworks that govern such actions.

Drawing from official administrative standards, Mohamed emphasized that any meeting of such magnitude must adhere to the **Public Order Act**. He argued that the “secret” meeting held to oust him failed to meet the following constitutional and legal benchmarks:
* **Lack of Proper Notice:** Asserting that the mandatory three-to-fourteen-day notice period for such gatherings was bypassed.

* **Constitutional Violation:** He maintains the “spirit of Article 37” (the right to assemble) was weaponized against him in an unconstitutional manner.
* **Accountability:** Mohamed insists that the organizers of his suspension are legally accountable for the procedural “disorder” they have created.
### The Next Move

Mohamed has revealed his next course of action will be a formal challenge in the corridors of justice. “The law is clear on how meetings and transitions must be conducted,” a source close to the President stated. “You cannot fight corruption by breaking the law.”
As Mariga prepares to take the helm, the federation remains divided. With a legal battle looming, the future of Kenyan football administration remains as volatile as ever.
