FKF North Eastern NEC member Dabar Ahmedqadar, alongside Eastern NEC Member Murithi Nabea, has strongly criticized the Football Kenya Federation's (FKF) decision to focus on trivial matters rather than addressing pressing issues within the organization.

FOOTBALL Harambee Stars defender Eric ‘Marcelo’ Ouma set to miss almost a month with hamstring injury
The Harambee Stars left-back will miss the Four Nations Tournament in Malawi due to injury, dealing a blow to both club and country ahead of the crucial competition.
In a press conference of their own, the duo expressed disappointment at the Federation's priorities, emphasizing the urgency of tackling significant issues such as the disappearance of COVID funds, mismanagement of the FIFA for School balls program, and the hosting of CHAN in 2024.
"When we heard about the emergency press conference, we anticipated a discussion on crucial matters, such as the OB van fiasco, the disappearance of COVID funds, the mismanagement of the FIFA for school balls program, and the hosting of CHAN in 2024. These are pressing issues that demand attention and transparency.
Instead, we were dismayed to witness a whole organization, calling for a presser solely to discuss one individual - Hussein Mohammed. Never in the history of this country have we seen such pettiness and mediocrity," Ahmedqadar lamented.

They emphasized the importance of upholding the integrity of the organization by respecting its founding principles and ensuring fair treatment for all members.
