Currently, FKF NEC member Mohammed Dabar and former NEC member Muriithi Nabea are engaging with EACC officers regarding internal processes and access to key records at the Goal Project in Kasarani.
EACC is examining how a KSh 42.4 million insurance payment was processed during CHAN preparations, focusing on whether procurement rules were followed and whether the deal met regulatory and financial standards.
According to EACC, the payment was processed on August 4, 2025, raising questions about procurement procedures, regulatory compliance, and the potential loss of public funds.
The insurance company that was awarded the contract had been registered on June 25, weeks earlier, before being awarded the contract by FKF, and was not licensed by the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) to operate as an insurance broker in 2025.
The insurance arrangement was one of the requirements set by CAF, which required host nations to secure civil liability coverage of KSh 3.8 billion for hosting the CHAN tournament.
