FKF Special General Meeting disruption raises concern
The federation expressed concern over the operation, saying it interfered with a constitutional process. It said General Assembly members had convened the meeting under the FKF constitution to conduct federation business.
Meanwhile, FKF officials exited the hotel with their hands raised during the police operation. The teargas forced those attending to abandon the gathering before delegates could address the business that brought them together.
The disruption followed McDonald Mariga’s arrival at the venue accompanied by RDU officers, as footage and accounts from the scene indicated. FKF also said it would issue further updates as the situation developed, with the meeting’s status remaining uncertain.
