In the Statement, the Chairperson should address the following issues:- (a) Explain the circumstances surrounding the team’s travel to Cape Verde as well as the reasons that prompted the trip to be delayed by over eight hours as a result of which the team arrived barely three hours to the kick-off? (b) Confirm that the Government had released money to Mr. Sam Nyamweya, the President of the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) to facilitate the trip and if so, how much was it and how was it spent? (c) Confirm that the FKF President was arrested by Flying Squad over the matter on Tuesday, 17th November, 2015 and if so, what was he being investigated for and what were the findings of the investigation? (d) Clarify whether FKF is registered with the Ministry of Gender, Sports and Culture and if not, why did the Government release money to the entity? (e) What measures has the Government taken or planned to take against the officials that were responsible for this particular incident and to sort out the mess in the sport in Kenya once and for all?"
