Hard work begins for FKF officials
What you need to know:
- It’s a new season with a new team at Football Kenya Federation office.
- We wish to congratulate the new office and to tell them that as soon as they start goofing, we shall be there to bother them.
It’s a new season with a new team at Football Kenya Federation office. We have a lot to smile about and the errors that belonged to the old office should be over by now.
The old office shall be handing over - God knows what - to the newly-elected office bearers. From there, we are as sure as hell that a stench shall emanate and when it does, we shall not be shocked at all! Of course there are individuals who we heard are owed monies by FKF… that they spent their ‘hard earned cash’ to run the federation and millions ought to be given to them. We shall deal with such shenanigans when time comes.
We wish to congratulate the new office and to tell them that as soon as they start goofing, we shall be there to bother them. That we shall be the mouthpiece of football loving Kenyans against them - if need be - if we get the same sheikh in a different kanzu. We are informing them that even the dung which killed us over a long while was never about an individual but a whole load of other issues!
They came in in a platform of change and they dubbed themselves ‘team change’. We know some of them have always been there and were part of the problems of Kenyan football. They sneaked back clinging on the hem of Nick Mwendwa and they shall soon be snug in their old offices! We must at this juncture assure them that we shall support all their endeavours to save Kenyan football from the low level it has descended to.
Team change’ may be as optimistic as they are. The reedy-voiced president wants to make us think that this time round, the organisation shall make Kenya even go to the world cup! It is infectious to say the least and we may demonise those outgoing fellows due to the buoyancy we feel after the successful elections.
KILL THE KPL
The task shall not be as easy as Mwendwa feels. He talks oozing a lot of confidence; his face shiny and and his shrillness almost makes one feel like he is the Messiah; the panacea to all the troubles football in Kenya!
We like his self-assurance but we shall lose all face if he diverts to the old system of running things. We have had two leagues calling themselves top tier - the Kenya Premier League (KPL) and FKF Premier League (FKF PL). Many clubs were shoved into the FKF PL by powers that be to kill the KPL.
Last season, these two leagues ran parallel to each other, with a lot of problems in the FKF PL not being solved. The league ran mechanically without any input from functioning brains! Some clubs had to pull out due to lack of funds after the sponsors realised it was a sham league.
Mwendwa must find a formula to work with the KPL especially to harmonise that disparity brought about by large and illiterate egos in FKF last year. The lower leagues must get the attention they deserve and referees be paid in time.
