Kenyan football fans have condemned the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) for failing to implement fans safety measures in all stadia across the country, and the overall mismanagement of local football.

The fans, under the Kenya Football Fans Federation, KEFOFA, have accused the federation of promoting insecurity during matches, economic sabotage, and failure to adequately prepare for major events like the AFCON 2025.

Speaking to the media in Nairobi, KEFOFA President Francis Liboyi called for the arrest of key football stakeholders, including FKF President Nick Mwendwa, for endangering the lives of the fans.

“The DPP, having been furnished with evidence by the EACC, to immediately commence prosecution of  the ‘Undertaker’ Nick Mwendwa and his accomplices who have been presiding over the murder of football development initiatives in our country,” said Liboyi.

“Sports CS Ababu Namwamba should take decisive action to ensure the Sports Act is followed and FKF elections are not sabotaged by anyone,” he added. 

Liboyi also alleged that FKF has excluded fan representation from its Constitution, therefore illegally silencing the voices of football supporters in the country.
