FIFA has intervened to protect FKF boss Hussein Mohamed from an improperly conducted suspension, while warning of possible disciplinary action over the constitutional breach.
The world football governing body FIFA has come to the aid of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) chief Hussein Mohammed, stating that his suspension by the National Executive Committee (NEC) was not procedural.
FIFA's intervention to protect Hussein Mohammed exposes the uncomfortable reality that African football federations remain colonial subjects, with Zurich holding veto power over local governance decisions that Kenyan officials are perfectly capable of making themselves. While constitutional breaches deserve scrutiny, the sight of a European institution dictating the internal affairs of Kenyan football reveals how the beautiful game continues to operate as a neocolonial enterprise across the continent. This isn't rescue. It's reminder of who really runs African football.
