A contract signed between Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and Topline Logistics Ltd during Harold Ndege’s tenure as FKF General Secretary/CEO has opened fresh questions over procurement procedures and contractual authority within the federation.
The agreement, dated May 26, 2025, appointed Topline Logistics Ltd as FKF’s clearing and forwarding agent for imported cargo arriving through sea and air freight into Kenya.

According to the contract seen by Pepeta, the company was tasked with handling customs documentation, coordination with government agencies including KRA and KPA, cargo clearance, freight handling and shipment release services.
The agreement further states that the logistics company would earn a service fee equivalent to five percent of the FOB value per shipment, with disputes arising from the contract to be resolved through arbitration in Nairobi.
However, the contract has since become the subject of internal controversy within FKF, with questions reportedly being raised over whether due procurement procedures and approvals were followed before the agreement was executed.
Notably, the contract document reviewed by Pepeta does not indicate a fixed contract value, despite claims circulating within football circles linking the agreement to figures running into tens of millions of shillings.
The contract also identifies Harold Ndege as FKF General Secretary/CEO at the time of signing and appears on official FKF letterhead.
The emerging dispute now appears likely to revolve around issues of authority, procurement process and institutional approvals rather than the existence of the contract itself.
