Mariga said the National Executive Committee (NEC) had identified serious governance, financial, and constitutional violations that informed the resolution passed on April 24, 2026.
He noted that the decision was aimed at safeguarding the integrity of Kenyan football.
According to the statement, the concerns include allegations of financial impropriety, misuse of public funds, and breaches of procurement and financial management laws.
These issues have triggered internal and external investigations.
Mariga confirmed that several key officials have stepped aside to allow independent investigations and a full forensic audit by relevant authorities.
He further revealed that institutions including the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), CAF, and FIFA have already launched inquiries into the matter.
Mariga welcomed investigations, urging the bodies involved to expedite their processes to ensure accountability and restore public confidence in the federation.
He announced that he has assumed the role of Acting President with immediate effect, following a mandate from the NEC.
He also confirmed that an urgent NEC meeting will be convened soon to address the ongoing situation.
To support investigations, Mariga said measures will be taken to preserve evidence, including freezing relevant accounts and reviewing existing contracts.
Despite the ongoing crisis, he assured stakeholders that FKF remains operational and will honour all existing commitments with partners, including SportPesa and Azam, among others.
Mariga emphasized that the federation remains committed to transparency, accountability, and the rule of law, adding that reforms underway are aimed at rebuilding trust and strengthening Kenyan football for the future.
