Football Kenya Federation (FKF) President Hussein Mohammed could be on his way out following allegations of insurance fraud.
Members of FKF Executive Committee are scheduled to hold a meeting on Friday to discuss Mohammed’s fate.
Also likely to be removed is NEC member Yussuf Abdalla.
A source in the federation said the NEC members are shocked at the allegations that have emerged over the Sh42million insurance deal.
“They are totally shocked and have decided to take action so that they are not accused of being complicit to the accusations and have decided to take action,” said a source.
Pressure is mounting on Hussein to resign following the scandal which saw FKF pay out Sh42million to Riskwell Insurance Company.
More surprising is the fact that the company Riskwell Insurance Brokers Limited was registered just two months before being contracted and paid millions of shillings with no evidence that they provided the cover.
Provision of the civil liability cover worth $30million (Approximately Sh3.8billion) was a key requirement by the Confederation of African of Football (CAF) for the three Countries-Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania in hosting the CHAN tournament.
On July 17, 2025, now suspended FKF Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Harold Ndege wrote a letter to his counterpart in the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) for CHAN detailing the steps the federation had made in acquiring the cover.
Myke Rabar held the position at the time.
In the letter Ndege pointed out that FKF had requested and received a quotation from three companies to provide cover-General Civil Liability limit of Sh3.8billion as well as employee related covers for both CAF and LOC during the tournament and medical cover for both CAF and LOC staff during the tournament.
According to Ndege’s letter, the three companies that quoted to provide the requested service were Takaful Insurance, Old Mutual and Britam with the latter quoting a premium of $226,013 (Sh29,155,677).
However, without any explanation, FKF paid out $328,735 (Sh42,406,815) to Riskwell Insurance Brokers.
The money was paid out on August 4, 2025 under the instructions of FKF President Hussein Mohammed from an Ecobank Account to Riskwell’s account at First Community Bank.
Riskwell according to documents in our passion was registered on June 25,2025 with three directors Mohamud Yarrow Ibrahim, Nyairo Tom Nyairo and Abdullahi Mohamud Sheikh.
Ibrahim and Nyairo hold 300 shares each while Sheikh is the majority shareholder with 400 shares.
We also confirmed that one of the shareholders of Riskwell Insurance is a related to a top FKF official.
We made several efforts to to get a reaction from Football Kenya Federation (FKF) in vain.
Acting FKF Chief Executive Dennis Gacheru did not pick our calls or answer questions sent to him directly in the matter.
Even FKF President Hussein Mohammed did not respond to our questions regarding the matter.
Nicholas Musonye who chaired the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the CHAN tournament insisted that the event was duly covered as required by CAF. He however did not reveal which company had been contracted to provide the insurance services.
“CAF would not have allowed the tournament to go ahead without the insurance coverage. It was a key requirement,” said Musonye when contacted.
