The Keyan National Assembly’s sports and Culture Committee Chaired by Webuye West MP, Hon. Daniel Wanyama today met with members of County Football Associations (CFA) and the Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts Mr. Jonathan Mueke over the state of football management in the Country.
The CFA’s had sought the Committees intervention in the case where the Nairobi County Football Association Secretary General Mr. Wilfred Marori terms as abuse of the sports act. Mr. Marori wanted the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) disbanded after accusing its President Mr. Nick Mwendwa of refusing to recognize them despite being duly registered as a sports body by the Sports Registrar.
The Committee was interested in knowing the role that the Ministry was playing in addressing the matter that has long plagued the sport
“You have slept on the job. We expected you to come in with new energy sort this matter once and for all” lamented Hon Wanyama.
In his response, Mr. Mueke said that the ministry’s hands were tied as they could not intervene in the matter between the two bodies (FKF) and the CFAs as the case was already before the Sports Dispute Tribunal.
The Committee directed the Ministry of Sports to convene a meeting bringing together the disputing bodies, the Ministry and the Sports Committee with the purpose of sorting out all the differences.
“Let us lock ourselves in a room and not leave until the white smoke comes out and we have a lasting solution to all the country’s footballing issues.” Stated Hon Wanyama.
