Sports Disputes Tribunal to rule in FKF vs Registrar case in March
The Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) has set March 17, 2020 as the date that a ruling will be made in a case that was heard yesterday pitting the national football governing body Football Kenya Federation (FKF) against the Sports Registrar Rose Wasike.
During the hearing of the case the lawyer representing the Sports Registrar Martin Munene was at pains to explain why the registrar had waited until the FKF electioneering period to demand that all branches and clubs obtain registration at her office while over a year has elapsed since provisional licence was her office issued in 2018.
The registrar was taken to task over alleged delays in facilitating FKF conform to the Sports Act.
“A provisional licence was issued to the Federation on 4th May, 2018 and was supposed to expire after 90 days, why has the registrar just started demanding registration now that elections have been planned?” posed SDT chairman John Ohaga.
"Your office had more than a year to compel FKF to comply with the act. Has the registrar been sleeping and only woke up when she heard there are planned elections? Asked Ohaga.
According to the registrar, the federation cannot go on with the polls scheduled to culminate with the presidential polls on 27th March, without having registered interim branch officials. Additionally, according to Wasike, only 21 clubs have been fully registered meaning that out of the thousands of clubs in the country, only a handful can participate in the polls.
According to Munene, FKF failed to meet specific conditions made available last year and were operating on an interim license. He also pointed out FKF gets authorisation to register counties from the Registrar, which, despite being reminded twice, failed to do so.
