“The government is committed to fulfilling the conditions set by Fifa so that the penalty is removed.

In my meeting with the suspended NEC, I have been open with them about these issues,” Namwamba told the media.
He went ahead to direct the federation to make a quick official communication to FIFA on the new direction Kenya had taken.
“FKF will communicate to Fifa regarding the understanding between them and the government on conditions that we have set. They have been put down by FKF and will be conveyed to Fifa shortly,” added Namwamba.
It however emerged that, part of the agreement between the government and FKF is that Mr. Mwendwa remains inactive in sports matters until he is cleared by courts.
