Former Kenya international Boniface Ambani has criticized FKF for spending on 'suits' instead of paying referees' six-month wage arrears ahead of AGM.
On September 2023, the troubling state of Kenyan football was starkly highlighted when a Nairobi-based referee, part of the FKF Premier League, and his family were forced to spend a night out in the cold after being evicted for unpaid rent.
The referee, who chose to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, highlighted the financial difficulties faced by those at the heart of the game, stemming from the Football Kenya Federation's failure to pay referees' salaries for six months.
