Sports Journalist Milton Nyakundi had moved to court seeking orders to stop the AGM, based on the argument that the federation top officials lack the legal basis and mandate to convene the meeting
The High Court of Kenya in Mombasa has stopped the much-awaited Football Kenya Federation Annual General Meeting (AGM) that was scheduled for Saturday at the Kenya Institute of Special Education (KISE).
The AGM was set to deliberate on several things with the forthcoming FKF elections among the key issues.
On Friday, the High Court, under Lady Justice Olga Sewe halted the meeting after sports journalist Milton Nyakundi moved to the corridors of justice opposing the AGM over the legality of federation top officials to convene the event.
Acting on the support affidavits and support applications presented in Court on the 13th of March 2024, Sewe issued an interim stay of the intended Annual General Meeting of the FKF pending hearing inter parties of the application.
