High Court halts removal of FKF official Abdullahi Yusuf, orders reinstatement

The High Court has issued conservatory orders stopping the removal of Football Kenya Federation FKF National Executive Committee member Abdullahi Yusuf and directed his reinstatement. Justice Bahati Mwamuye's ruling came after Yusuf filed a petition challenging his dismissal from a meeting on April 24. Yusuf argues that the meeting was illegal, and decisions made were unconstitutional, claiming he was not notified, given an opportunity to defend himself, or provided with critical documents. He was asked to step aside over accusations of involvement in KSh42 million CHAN insurance fraud and alleged financial misconduct, alongside FKF President Hussein Mohammed. Yusuf's petition also warned that escalating the dispute could lead to sanctions, including a possible suspension from FIFA. The case will be mentioned on May 19. FKF President Hussein Mohammed was also suspended in relation to the KSh42 million CHAN insurance money, with his vice president, McDonald Mariga, elevated to acting President. The Sports Disputes Tribunal has also issued an order halting Mohammed's removal from office.
