As if Jubilee hasn’t screwed our economy to the best of their ability, William Ruto financed a young unknown mtaa-mentality Kariobangi dweller, who mistook his mandate as an opportunity to reward friends and strike some deals.
We cannot over-emphasise the need to have one component of the country going well, because as it is, the Government is one hot mess. Football gives us peace and is a unifying factor even when all hope seems lost.
There is no way we can have FKF President Nick Mwendwa antagonising those who live off football. We won’t have him blaming KPL coaches for his own errors. We cannot have every senior sports operative and pundit expressing their dissatisfaction with him.
The next assignments include the Under-20’s facing Sudan and the Women’s National Team facing Algeria. There are no signs that these teams are in camp, or that they are even making the necessary preparations to win.
What we know is that the FKF CEO Robert Muthomi and Ligi Ndogo owner who happens to be the Nairobi County elected FKF member Chris Amimo are not talking to each other over some botched kit deal with Harambee Stars. These are nincompoops of the highest order who want to eat the little that Nyamweya left instead of building something new and big.
Everyone thought that a young Mwendwa would employ some sort-of sophistication into his modus operandi, but it seems that these a just a bunch of idiots who know how to use social-media. Was Robert Muthomi or Stanley Okumbi competitively recruitted? Was the mediocre kit that Harambee Stars is wearing openly and transparently tendered? This is the stupidity that we are trying to get away from, yet Mwendwa thinks he can constantly deploy compromised journalists to insult our intelligence. If we don’t allow the head of state Uhuru to do so, sembuse Mwendwa from Kariobangi?
That William Ruto has been a curse to this country is not in doubt. His intervention or influence in any sector has had disastrous results. All the Ministries and Parastatals he controls are either broke or in shambles, as his greed to own a bank supercedes national interest.
We now ask football stakeholders, clubs, branches to arise. Nick Mwendwa is not willing to listen. He is still defending an incompetent Stanley Okumbi, still standing by the hooligans who have surrounded him, still isolating anyone who has a meaningful contribution to football and still conjuring up delusions of grandeur.
Football clubs can now start breaking away from FKF because Nick Mwendwa’s little money is not the one that has kept Kenyan Football afloat all these years. By threatening the livelihoods of those who eke a living out of football, Mwendwa has declared war and stakeholders should respond in equal measure.
Mwendwa has adopted a George Bush “you’re either with us, or against us” mentality, threatening to isolate journalists, clubs and stakeholders who criticise him, despite the glaring fact that they have more to offer than he ever will.
In the words of NYS thief Aden Duale, “Mpira sio wa mama yako” Mr. Mwendwa. If U20 and the women’s team lose the upcoming qualifier matches, please start packing your bags. We are mentally exhausted by your flimsy excuses and nonsense theories.
