The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has raided offices of Football Kenya Federation at Goal Project Kasarani. Investigators are probing an alleged KSh42 million insurance scandal linked to the 2025 African Nations Championship.
EACC said the operation focused on reviewing documents rather than conducting a full search. Detectives are analysing records previously requested from the federation.
The probe targets top FKF officials, including President Hussein Mohammed and CEO Dennis Gicheru. Authorities launched investigations following public concern as Kenya prepares to co-host the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Pressure has intensified after FIFA demanded explanations over recent suspensions within FKF. The body requested key documents, including meeting records and proof of due process, with a deadline set for May 1.
Salim Mvurya has distanced the government from the dispute, stating the ministry only received anonymous complaints. Meanwhile, the High Court of Kenya has temporarily blocked Mohammed’s removal pending a hearing.
The controversy follows an April 24 decision by FKF’s National Executive Committee to suspend Mohammed, Gicheru, and Abdullahi Yussuf over alleged financial impropriety. Mohammed has rejected the move, describing the accusations as a smear campaign and denying misuse of CHAN funds.
Authorities say they aim to ensure transparency in football management structures ahead of upcoming continental tournaments.
