The High Court in Kiambu County has issued conservatory orders restraining the respondent from suspending, removing, or in any other way interfering with Football Kenya Federation (FKF) officials Hussein Mohamed, Dennis Gicheru, and NEC member Ibrahim Yussuf in their respective offices and positions at FKF, the National Executive Committee, and related bodies.
Conservatory Order Issued
Following preliminary consideration of the application, the Court directed that, pending the inter partes hearing and determination of the application, a conservatory order be issued restraining the respondent from suspending, removing, or interfering with the petitioner’s office and position at the Football Kenya Federation (FKF), the National Executive Committee, and related offices or bodies.
Furthermore, the Court ordered that if any adverse action or decision has already been taken, it be stayed, and the status quo ante that existed immediately before such action or decision be restored by order of the Court, pending the inter partes hearing and determination of the Notice of Motion Application dated April 26, 2026.
The court further directed procedural timelines for compliance. The Petitioner is required to serve the respondent and interested party with the application, petition, and Court Order immediately, and file an Affidavit of Service by 29th April 2026.
The respondent and Interested Party are directed to enter appearance and file and serve their respective responses to both the Application and the Petition by 08th May 2026.
Additionally, the petitioner is granted leave to file and serve a rejoinder, if necessary, by 15th May 2026.
Mention Date
The matter has been scheduled for mention on 19th May to confirm compliance and to take directions on the expedited hearing and determination of the application and petition.
The Court also issued a Penal Notice, stating that any disobedience or non-observance of the Court order will result in penal consequences to any person or persons disobeying or failing to comply with the directive.
The directions effectively maintain the current positions of Hussein Mohamed, Dennis Gicheru, and Ibrahim Yussuf within FKF structures, pending the full hearing and determination of the case, ensuring that no administrative changes or disciplinary actions are implemented against them during the subsistence of the conservatory orders.
