The CEO office has been a poisoned chalice in recent past with a series of resignations and leadership disputes affecting the federation’s management.
Former CEO Barry Otieno resigned after a five-year tenure to contest the FKF presidency in elections held on December 7 2024 with Patrick Korir subsequently appointed as interim General Secretary/CEO but resigned on February 5, 2025.
Harold Ndege then assumed the position but disagreements with his boss Hussein Mohammed has seen him barred from office with the Federation now appointing Gicheru as they wait for a permanent appointment.
