Stakes are high in the country as football enthusiasts expect a landmark direction from Sports Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohammed.
At the same time, the wheat is expected to be separated from the chaff when a Nairobi court rules whether it was justifiable for Amina to disband the Football Kenya Federation (FKF).
The CS expelled the federation led by Nick Mwendwa last November over alleged graft and replaced it with a caretaker committee led by retired Judge Aaron Ringera.
The Ringera led secretariat has been running the topflight league, National Super League, Women Premier League, FKF Division One and Division Two leagues.
“We shall provide a clear road map on Thursday on how we shall move on after meeting with the President and football stakeholders,” Amina said.
The CS however didn’t clarify whether a transition committee will be put in place before the FKF elections are held to get new officials.
FKF rushed to court two days before they were disbanded, questioning the manner in which the CS had handled the process and termed it flawed.
In the Sports Act 2013, the Registrar of Sports is tasked to call for an audit of any federation, receive the report of the outcome and task the federation in question to explain any inappropriateness identified, before recommending action.
Amina made the decision after she received a report on the investigations into the massive fraud reported at the body.
The report analysed alleged embezzlement of the Sh245 million meant for Harambee Stars’ preparations for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations held in Egypt.
FIFA has since suspended Kenya over what it termed as government interference in the sport.
In a letter addressed to the ministry in early November 2021, FIFA stated it would not recognize the 15-member caretaker committee.
The world football governing body went on to demand that it be scrapped, among other conditions it has set, to reinstate Kenya in international football.
