The impeached Football Kenya Federation President Hussein Mohammed has come out defending himself against the Executive Members over misuse of funds.
Yesterday, 9 out 0f 12 NEC members suspended the head of the football federation over the embezzlement of 42 million set for CHAN 2025 insurance.
Today, Hussein came out dismissing the allegations that the money was stolen, stating that FKF was not involved in the procurement of the insurance, which he said was done as per the law by the Confederation of African Football (CAF)
“FKF did not transfer or pay money to any insurance company for the CHAN competition, and I can challenge anyone to provide evidence that FKF paid the money. There was no loss of money in relation to the insurance cover.
Hussein said that it was all about maliciousness from his Executive Board, claiming that it was a revenge mission owing to his position on fighting corruption.
“I am aware that there are plans to run a sustained smear campaign against me and the federation in an attempt to collapse the institution and taint my reputation. This is a desperate act of revenge for the steadfast position I have taken in the past. I am willing to cooperate with any investigative agency on any matter should I be required to do so.”
“The purported meeting held on the 24th of April was not confirmed as having happened, because I have not received any formal communication about the same. In accordance with the FKF constitution 2017, the meeting was irregular, unlawful, and unconstitutional.”
