DOHA, Qatar
Kenya will remain suspended indefinitely from all international football competitions over government interference after the decision was ratified at the FIFA Congress in Doha on Thursday.
The Kenyan government has had a one-month window
to relinquish management of
the country’s football and
allow the beleaguered Football Kenya Federation (FKF) back in charge.
The FKF was dissolved in November last year by the
Ministry of Sports over alleged misappropriation of funds with a caretaker
committee appointed to run the affairs of Kenyan football.
That committee remains in charge although it is
approaching the end of its six-month mandate after which elections to vote in
the next FKF administration are to be held.
FIFA
had set the ultimatum of
FKF’s unconditional return to office last month when it announced it was
suspending Kenya as it demanded the Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed
rescind her decision to appoint a caretaker committee.
None of the conditions spelled out have yet to be met.
The suspensions of Zimbabwe and Pakistan have also
been ratified.
Suspensions means the three countries cannot take part
in international competitions until they are lifted.
