Vice President McDonald Mariga was expelled from the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) along with six other National Executive Committee members. The decision followed a Special General Meeting in Meru County. Police used tear gas during the meeting, which was described as tense.
The FKF announced the removal of Mariga and the six NEC members after a vote. The federation cited disciplinary actions as the reason for the expulsion. Mariga, a former Hrambee Stars player, had held the position of vice president. The meeting took place in Meru County, where the situation escalated.
This is not the first time Mariga has faced disciplinary action. Previous reports indicate he was suspended from his role in 2022. The FKF has been under scrutiny for leadership changes and internal conflicts. The current expulsion marks a significant shift in the federation’s leadership structure.
The decision has raised questions about the stability of the FKF. The federation has been dealing with internal disputes and governance issues. The removal of key figures like Mariga signals a broader restructuring. The situation remains under review by the federation’s governing body.
