A report by the special investigations committee formed by Sports CS Amina Mohammed to probe claims of financial impropriety in the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) reveals over Ksh.550 million allocated to the body as grants from the national government could not be accounted for.
The inspection committee report not only reveals there were no available documents to support the expenditure of Ksh.513 million between December 18, 2017, and October 13, 2021, but also says the body made fictitious withdrawals of Ksh.29.5 million within a month (April and May this year) and transferred Ksh.8.5 million to Nick Mwendwa’s private bank accounts, between March and May this year.
Other than the ousted FKF president, authorized signatories for the body’s bank accounts are Christine Akumu Ojude, Barry Omondi Otieno, Chris Amino, and Doris Petra.

FKF has been pressed to explain how a Ksh.20 million grant to host the CECAFA tournament in November and December 2017 was used.

Also questioned by the inspection team is how a Ksh.13.4 million funding of Harambee Stars qualifier match against Uganda in 2018 was spent.
