Also mentioned in the petition is the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) Secretariat, the FKF President Nick Mwendwa and Chief Executive Officer Barry Otieno.

Ohaga issued an order temporarily suspending a declaration by the Nation’s Football governing body FKF cancelling the 2019/2020 Kenyan Premier League season.
