In recent events surrounding the Football Kenya Federation (FKF), there has been a spotlight on the role and understanding of FKF delegates in the management of the game. The recent FKF delegates’ meeting revealed a concerning lack of awareness among many delegates regarding the weight of their responsibilities.
It is evident that some delegates are being influenced by the federation’s leadership to prioritize agendas that may not necessarily align with the best interests of Kenyan football. The recent press conference, seemingly orchestrated by the federation’s leadership, targeted individuals questioning accountability within the FKF. This raises concerns about the independence and critical thinking of the delegates.
One of the key issues at hand is the need for transparency and accountability regarding various funds, including COVID relief funds, OB Vans funds, Odibet funds, and Chapa Dimba na Safaricom funds. However, instead of addressing these concerns, there seems to be a concerted effort to suppress dissenting voices.
It’s crucial for delegates to understand the long-term implications of their actions. While they may currently align with the leadership’s agenda, they risk losing their voice and mandate once the leadership solidifies its control. The impending change in leadership in 2024 highlights the temporary nature of their influence and the importance of acting in the best interest of Kenyan football.
Nick Mwendwa’s intentions to manage CHAN and AFCON tournaments should not overshadow the need for accountability and good governance within the FKF. Delegates must realize their power and responsibility in driving football administration forward. They hold the authority to demand transparency, hold leaders accountable, and enact change within the federation.
It’s time for delegates to reassess their roles and assert their authority. They are the ultimate decision-makers, not the FKF president. With unity and determination, they have the power to impeach leaders and enact meaningful reforms. It’s imperative for delegates to wake up to their potential and prioritize the well-being of Kenyan football above personal agendas or external influences.
By embracing their mandates and exercising their authority, FKF delegates can pave the way for a brighter future for football in Kenya. It’s time to combat impunity, promote transparency, and uphold the integrity of the game. The time for action is now.
