Speaking a day after the FKF National Executive Committee (NEC) announced the decision, Hussein denied allegations that Ksh42 million linked to the tournament had been mismanaged.
The NEC’s directive also required Abdullahi Yussuf Ibrahim and Acting CEO Dennis Gicheru to step aside as investigations proceed.
Hussein, however, maintained that all financial and logistical processes adhered strictly to established guidelines.
He defended the federation’s role in insurance procurement, clarifying that responsibility for securing and maintaining player insurance lay with the Confederation of African Football under the host agreement.
He emphasized that FKF neither transferred nor paid any funds to insurance providers for CHAN, dismissing claims that federation resources were lost.
According to Hussein, all tournament-related services were delivered in full compliance with CAF requirements.
He further alleged that the accusations form part of a broader campaign aimed at undermining his leadership and obstructing reforms within Kenyan football.
He suggested that resistance to his administration is partly driven by his stance against corruption in football management.
Despite rejecting the allegations, Hussein expressed willingness to cooperate fully with ongoing investigations.
Meanwhile, the NEC appointed Deputy President Macdonald Mariga as Acting FKF President pending the outcome of the probe.
The committee also ordered the freezing of bank accounts linked to Hussein in his official capacity, citing the need to preserve evidence and prevent interference.
Hussein criticized what he termed as malicious public reports, insisting they are designed to mislead and distract.
He maintained that the suspension will not derail his commitment to reforming Kenyan football governance.
