World football governing body FIFA has thrown out attempts by a section of the Football Kenya Federation National Executive Committee to force top federation officials to step aside.

FIFA has declared the process to suspend FKF President Hussein Mohammed, Ag. Secretary General Dennis Gicheru and nominated NEC member Abdulahi Yusuf Ibrahim unconstitutional, warning that those involved could face disciplinary action.

In a letter, Chief Member Associations Officer Elkhan Mammadov addressed to FKF National Executive Committee members, FIFA said the procedures followed in seeking the provisional suspension of officials did not comply with the 2017 FKF Constitution and therefore could not be recognised.
