All set for Cricket Kenya elections on Sunday

Cricket Kenya will hold its extraordinary general meeting this Sunday at the federation offices in Ruaraka.

Federation treasurer Ken Obuya says the issues to be discussed are the position of the vice chairman, the general conduct of some federation officials, and the ongoing wrangles between the board, the CEO, and the chairman.

“I can assure Kenyans that we will have a special general meeting on the 21st of this month at our headquarters in Ruaraka. We have the funds to hold the meeting; no one will stop it; it will take place,” said Obuya

Despite the board passing a vote of no confidence in the chairman, Obuya confirmed to Citizen Digital that he is still in charge of the federation and can represent Kenya on cricket matters unless the cricket council ousts him.

“The board passed a vote of no confidence in the chairman, but that does not mean he is out.

“He is still the chairman of Cricket Kenya and can still represent Cricket Kenya at the council level because they have the power to remove him from his position,” added Obuya.

The treasurer confirmed that plans are still being made to host the cricket T20 tournament, and they are hopeful that if all goes as planned, it will start on the 7th of next month.

“This tournament is so big that it will bring a lot of sports tourism; the players who are going to be involved will benefit a lot, so it is quite disappointing for the two board members who are against it, but I believe it will happen and be a success,” stated the treasurer.
