Lady Justice Agnes Nzei, who issued the orders, listed the matter for mention on 27 January, with the court expected to issue further orders.
The order comes one week before FKF was expected to hold a NEC meeting to kick out Ndege and announce his replacement.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday by FKF boss Hussein Mohammed the meeting will have four agendas, including one that seemed to have sealed Ndege’s fate at Kandanda House.
It says:”Recommendation and approval by the President on the position of Secretary General in accordance with the provisions of article 42(4) as read together with article 63(5), of the FKF constitution 2017.”
The meeting will also recommend Ndege’s replacement as well as confirm minutes of the previous meeting.
The former Kenyan international and Tusker FC defender was appointed to the position in February 2025.

Before convening the 15 January meeting, the FKF CEO had been given a show cause letter amid his imminent sacking.
It required him to explain, in writing, why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for what Hussein terms as sustained failures in leadership, accountability, and execution of his duties.
Ndege was required to respond to 21 issues raised against him, including failure to notify the FKF President of a Parliamentary Committee invitation, poor planning in the appointment of the under-17 technical bench, under-15 national team mismanagement as well as mismanagement of court cases.
Other issues raised in the summons include, chronic absentism, breakdown in communication with the President, failure to lead in security and crown control as well as Eastern Divison one two league failures.
He is also accused of taking unauthorized official travel among other failures.
By obtaining the court order, Ndege will remain in office pending the hearing of the case.
