2015 in Kenyan football
The following article is a summary of the 2015 football season in Kenya, which is the 52nd competitive season in its history.


2015 in Kenyan football
The beginning of the season was hampered by the failure of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) to reach an agreement over the running of the top division in Kenyan football. Following a proposal from the FKF to expand the league to 18 teams, it formed a parallel FKF Premier League after talks with the KPL fell through over the running and composition of the Kenyan top flight for the 2015 season. Existing KPL clubs refused to take part in the FKF Premier League and instead pledged to remain in the KPL.


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, League expansion proposal and stalemate in talks
Towards the end of the 2014 season, the FKF proposed that the Premier League should be expanded to 18 teams from 16 for the upcoming season, though KPL management insisted that the 2015 season would continue with 16 teams. This followed previous concern shown by the KPL Executive Committee over the way FKF had interfered with decisions made regarding Premier League teams over the last 2 years.


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, League expansion proposal and stalemate in talks
Reasons given by the KPL for the opposition of the expansion of the league included the national team needing more time for friendlies and competitive matches to increase the nation's FIFA World Ranking, as well as an increased risk of injury to Premier League players – especially since only very few clubs have medical insurance to cover costs of the rehabilitation of players – further undermining the performance of the national team. However, in a statement released on 25 November 2014, the FKF insisted that the decision to expand the league was "final and irreversible".


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, League expansion proposal and stalemate in talks
On 4 December 2014, Hassan Wario, the Cabinet Secretary for Sports, Culture and the Arts, voiced his support for the retention of a 16-team Premier League, quoted saying: "The KPL is here to stay. FKF should put its house in order." In response, the FKF criticised the Cabinet Secretary in a statement released the next day for showing "open biasness yet he is supposed to be neutral and play the role of an arbitrator whenever any dispute is brought to his office." On 14 December, Governor of Nairobi Evans Kidero stated that the FKF's decision to expand the league "should be supported by everyone", stating that the target should be to have all 47 counties represented in the top tier to "boost competitiveness".


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, League expansion proposal and stalemate in talks
On 19 December 2014, the KPL suspended FKF chairman Sam Nyamweya from participating in its Governing Council meetings until the governing body "respects and implements Article 32 of the FKF Constitution", adding that the body has "shown no respect to judicial bodies mandated to make major decisions on disputes." The same day, however, a meeting held by representatives from both sides led to the formation of a task force to deliberate on the composition of the league for the upcoming season and present a report to the FKF/KPL Joint Executive Committee on 21 January 2015. Still on the same day, a statement signed by Nyamweya and KPL chairman Ambrose Rachier revealed the formation of a six-man committee with three representatives from each side to hold talks with three FIFA delegates to come up with resolutions on the crisis.


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, League expansion proposal and stalemate in talks
On 15 January 2015, Nyamweya announced that the 2015 Kenyan Premier League season was set to kick off on the second week of February, adding that the FKF was "working hard to ensure all matters are settled as soon as possible". However, Cabinet Secretary Wario launched an attack on the FKF the next day and threatened their disbandment. Speaking at the 2014 Kenyan Sports Personality of the Year awards, Wario noted that Kenya "has never been short of talents but we have been very short of managers of those talents and those are the people letting down Kenya and the youths of this country."


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, League expansion proposal and stalemate in talks
On 27 January 2015, the FKF ejected a consultant report sent in by FIFA delegate Robert Niemann, with its National Executive Committee (NEC) stating that he "ventured in areas and scope beyond his mandate", after FIFA had directed that the report be released to all concerned parties in the crisis, including the KPL.


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, Creation of parallel top-flight leagues
Following a KPL Governing Council meeting held on 24 January 2015, the KPL announced four days later that the league was set to begin on 21 February with 16 teams, with fixtures to be reviewed and approved at a meeting to be held in early February. Committee members expressed hope that an agreement with the FKF would be finalised and signed before the league's kick-off, but authorised matches to be played with or without a signed agreement with the FKF.


2015 in Kenyan football, Kenyan Premier League crisis, Creation of parallel top-flight leagues
However, in response, the FKF announced the creation of the FKF Premier League (FKF PL) consisting of 18 teams just hours later, adding that the governing body had already secured a sponsor for the 2015 season and following seasons, guaranteeing each participating club Ksh. 9 million (approx. £ 63,286, € 86,541 or US$ 98,523) in annual grants. Its kick-off date was set for 14 February.

Following the FKF's announcement, top referees in Kenya showed their support for the KPL, with one referee reported saying that officials at the 2014 FKF President's Cup "have not been paid yet the sponsor released the money to cater for that. So if the Federation cannot be honest with such a small tournament, how can they be trusted to run the league?"

Following action taken by the two bodies, Cabinet Secretary Wario summoned representatives from both sides for an "urgent meeting" on 29 January, although KPL Chief Executive Officer Jack Oguda stated that the KPL was still waiting for official communication from Wario before honouring the reported summon. On 30 January, Wario ordered the FKF to release the previously ejected FIFA report to all concerned parties including the Ministry of Sports, Culture and the Arts "without any further delay". In response, the FKF insisted that the report was not meant for "any other parties" other than itself and the Kenyan Premier League. In a Special General Meeting convened by the FKF the same day, the governing body resolved to maintain its previous directive to stage the eighteen-team FKF Premier League, with resolutions including the adjustment of the top flight's timeline from February–November to August–May starting from the 2016–17 season.

At a KPL Governing Council meeting held on 2 February 2015, the KPL declared it would "ignore any FKF decisions and threats which violate the previous FIFA and FKF-KPL cooperation agreements and arrangements over the last decade, adding that it would "refocus KPL's limited resources on continuing to make the KPL one of the most corruption-free, professionally managed, highly competitive and widely admired leagues in Africa" instead of "wasting any more time and energy on unproductive wrangles".

In the FIFA report that was finally sent to KPL chairman Ambrose Rachier, it was revealed that FIFA had recommended that the KPL continue to be competed by 16 teams for the 2015 season and that the KPL remain the official body to run the Kenyan top flight on behalf of the FKF. The report also revealed that FKF chairman Sam Nyamweya influenced the promotion of Shabana from the National Super League to the Premier League, a move that was previously questioned by the KPL Governing Council in December 2014.

Following reports published by the KPL exposing major integrity issues at the FKF, the FKF National Executive Committee demanded an "unreserved apology" from the KPL on 9 February 2015, threatening to sue if none was issued within three days. The FKF later fined Gor Mahia and Sofapaka a total of Ksh. 200,000 each for participating in the unsanctioned 2015 Kenyan Super Cup match, adding that the teams would face further disciplinary action if they continued to defy them, while the match officials were all also handed three-month bans for participating in the match.

The next day, FKF officials Sammy Sholei and Dan Shikanda, who were previously suspended in 2012, were enjoined with the KPL in the case against the FKF, with Sholei saying that while he and Shikanda do not know what happens in the running of the KPL, the FKF "have integrity issues all over. If we were to choose the lesser devil here, then it will be the KPL any day."

On 11 March, A.F.C. Leopards captain Martin Imbalambala and striker Noah Wafula were suspended by their club for reportedly accepting bribes from self-proclaimed club chairman Matthew Opwora, who was previously reported to have paid out former team manager Willis Waliaula and bribed each player with Ksh. 17,000 to take part in an FKF Premier League match against West Kenya Sugar. The club was later replaced by Nzoia United in the league, and while actual club chairman Allan Kasavuli maintained the club's allegiance to the KPL, Opwora moved to regain the club's place in the FKF Premier League.

The following Monday, on 16 March, the High Court of Kenya lifted the injunction imposed on the KPL on 24 February, allowing the league to resume with the second round. Lady Justice Aburili, who presided over the case, ruled that the FKF could not sue or be sued under its own name unless its officials began legal proceedings on its behalf, and advised that the name "Football Kenya Federation" be removed from the list of defendants and replaced with "Football Kenya Federation officials", and that a solution to the crisis be agreed on between the two parties out of court.

2015 in Kenyan football, FKF corruption allegations
—FKF president Sam Nyamweya reacting to corruption allegations made against him by French football executive Jérôme J. Dufourg.


2015 in Kenyan football, FKF corruption allegations
On 25 May 2015, in the midst of the FIFA corruption scandal, German broadcaster Deutsche Welle aired a documentary featuring French football executive Jérôme J. Dufourg that accused FKF president Sam Nyamweya of embezzling more than US$ 500,000 in development aid funds from FIFA, grants from the Confederation of African Football and other forms of funding from the Kenyan government. Showing bank statements from the FKF, Dufourg stated, "It is plain to see that almost US$ 200,000 in development funds came from FIFA. But the amount doesn't show up in the [Kenyan football] association annual report.


2015 in Kenyan football, FKF corruption allegations
Instead, withdrawals adding up to US$ 500,000 always came after deposits; that is clear evidence of corruption." Nyamweya was previously named in a report by the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission, released in late March and dubbed the "List of Shame" by Kenyan media, among 174 others being investigated for corruption in Kenya.


2015 in Kenyan football, FKF corruption allegations
Soon after the documentary was aired, the allegations made by Dufourg were widely reported on the Kenyan press, while the FKF's media rights holders MP & Silva reportedly suspended all payments to and cut ties with the federation over "repeated breaches of confidentiality" and their dissatisfaction with the quality of the FKF Premier League. FKF National Executive Committee member Tom Alila called for the resignation of Nyamweya and his deputy Robert Asembo in the wake of the scandal, saying the activities of the two "have compromised the image of Kenya football in the region, continent and the world."


2015 in Kenyan football, FKF corruption allegations
The following week, Alila declared his candidacy for the FKF presidency ahead of elections expected to be held on 3 November. Two days prior to Alila's announcement, Kariobangi Sharks founder and chairman Nick Mwendwa declared his candidacy with the slogan "Game ni mimi, game ni wewe" ("The game is me, the game is you"), highlighting the apparent mismanagement of the sport in the country under Nyamweya's leadership.


2015 in Kenyan football, FKF corruption allegations
In response to the allegations made against him by Dufourg, Nyamweya stated, "I cannot discuss about it because it is being handled by our legal experts and its recklessness. We want media houses not to be reckless, if you are given any documentation, you must have proof. If you don't have proof, you don't just write. Those days are over, these days if you do things that are illegal, my friend; you shall be taken to the sweepers. You do what you think is right. Don't say so and so has robbed when it is not true."


2015 in Kenyan football, FKF corruption allegations
In October, allegations of corruption within the FKF resurfaced ahead of the federation's elections in November. Former National Executive Committee (NEC) member Hussein Terry accused the federation of planning to rig the elections to keep Nyamweya as the FKF president.

The suspension of the league stemmed from the controversial awarding of three points and two goals to Shabana and Kakamega Homeboyz for their matches against West Kenya Sugar and St. Joseph respectively.
