FKF President Hussein Mohamed: “Mariga wanted to be the president and had the intention of pushing me aside. I don't regret what has happened to him," he told the Daily Nation. "He wanted to control the national teams, the leagues, management and even sponsorship. He wanted everything to revolve around him. I was elected president, and he was my deputy, so why would I allow that? Mariga travelled in almost all trips with the national teams, some of which I even financed from my own pocket," "He wanted to sit in every committee to serve his interests. Recently, he claimed he was not being paid a salary. "But where was I supposed to get the money for his salary, bodyguards, office secretary and full-time driver he wanted? Was he coming to FKF for leadership or personal benefits?" Full story: nation.africa/kenya/sports/f…
