Kenyan Football Federation disbanded hours before World Cup Qualifier

NAIROBI: The Kenyan Football Federation was disbanded by the government on Thursday just hours before the national team was due to play in a World Cup Qualifier. The move was announced by sports minister Amina Mohamed, who said a preliminary investigation into the football federation by her department had shown it was unable to properly account for money given to it by the government. Mohamed said police and anti-corruption authorities in Kenya should now carry out further investigations and decide if there should be criminal prosecutions.

The decision to remove all elected officials at the federation and replace them with a caretaker committee will not affect Kenya's international matches, the sports ministry said. IANS
