State will not pursue charges against Mwendwa, case closed
The State said on Thursday it will not pursue charges
against Football Kenya Federation (FKF) president Nick Mwendwa, who it had
accused of misappropriating funds allocated to the federation.
The court had granted the prosecution seven days to
charge Mwendwa, who was kicked out of office two weeks ago when the Sports
Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed disbanded the FKF.
The dissolution of the federation followed an
independent audit into FKF’s affairs, which CS Amina said it concluded that the
FKF was unable to account for all the monies allocated to it by the government.
She also requested the removal of the FKF's officials
in order for further investigations to be carried out, with a special audit of
the books of accounts of FKF also being requested.
The arrest of Mwendwa followed on November 12 and he
was detained for two days before being released on a Sh4million cash bail.
In declining to bring criminal charges against
Mwendwa, the state said it wishes to close the file pending further investigations.
