Below is My 10 Points Agenda.
It is so unfortunate how things have turned to be on the alleged corruption and misappropriation of funds.
I have read many online posts of people saying how the looming FIFA ban will be devastating to their career, livelihood etc.
The only concern that I have is that the people who will be directly affected should the FIFA ban come, have chosen to sit in a corner while watching from a distance as things unfold.
If they talk the best thing they can say is we need dialogue, we need to talk, a solution need to be found and so on. I find this vague and lack substantive ideas in terms of solutions.
I'm talking to all current players, coaches, referees, FKF instructors, etc. I know it isn't easy in your situation, but you need to be bold enough and help come up with real solutions rather than play safe.
You know what goes on, even if you can't talk in public seek anonymity and reach out to the caretaker committee.
Well, maybe I'm over ambitious here, anyway below are my 10 points agenda or should I call them solutions;
1. Accountability of funds given should be timely. It shouldn't wait, let say three years to account for funds given, for example, in the case of funds given for AFCON.
In any case, if the audit were done the government should seek to audit at the right time and act swiftly should there be any misappropriation.
2. The football constitution in terms of voters should be reviewed to accommodate all stakeholders which will also increase the number of people who vote for the president of the federation. I find it very strange like less than 100 people can decide our football fate that is loved by millions.
3. The officials running football matters in Kenya should have the right qualifications (credentials should be reviewed) and be subject to integrity test, professionalism test, education background in relevance to the post, etc. Here I mean at all levels from grassroots to the top level.
4. The credentials of the FKF president and the vice president should be reviewed.
5. The vice president of the federation should be given more roles if that isn't the case.
6. Increase funding and government support.
7. Meaningful partnerships :- Work with government in coming up with policies that will see all government institutions and parastatals have football clubs. Remember we had NSSF, NHIF, Kenya Airways just to mention but a few.
8. The government should enact policies that will encourage the private companies to invest, sponsor the clubs and the league.
9. Help all the clubs to invest in income generation activity by registering as companies. This will also see the clubs have benchmarks for leadership, operations, financial viability, sustainability, etc. that is allowed or approved by the government.
10. Work on modalities that will bring back the fans in the stadiums.
These are my proposals, if you approve them, please forward them caretaker committee š

Just remember, the fish start to rot from the head and a system is as good as the people who runs it. We can't fix the system without having the right people in charge. Kenya kuna vipindi nyingi tu sana yaani 'michezo
