Antony Baffoe urges Football Kenya Federation and government to reach an agreement amid FIFA suspension

Former Ghana international, Antony Baffoe has charged the Football Kenya Federation and the government of Kenya to reach an agreement to have the FIFA suspension lifted.

Kenya have been banned from world football because of governmental interference in the running of the game.

Kenya’s sports ministry disbanded the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) over alleged misappropriation of funds and appointed a caretaker committee last November. A FIFA ban means Kenya cannot take part in international competitions until the suspension is lifted.

“We also had a period, where we were under normalization, It’s important to get everything right in terms of government ethically,” Baffoe said as quoted by the-star.co.ke.

“Kenyans love football, they need football, the government and football fraternity should come together for the sake of the game. I think FIFA and CAF are handling it. Let’s see when we can come to Kenya again.”

FIFA said it would only lift the suspension upon “receipt of confirmation from the FKF and its management, led by Vice-President Doris Petra and General Secretary Barry Otieno that the FKF and its premises are once more under their full and unconditional control.”
