“I’m still the chairman. They say I’m suspended. I saw a letter coming from the acting chairman, Vice Chairman Moses Ndale, but all this is null and void because the process was not followed. We have a constitution, and we also have the Sports Act,” Mutai stated.
Harambee Stars players will need a certain skill set to play for new coach Benni McCarthy, according to a Kenyan tactician who has played against him previously.
According to Mutai, KRU’s constitution mandates that any significant decision, such as suspending a sitting chairman, must be made through a properly constituted board meeting.
The board holds meetings every second Monday of the month, making March 10 the official date for such a gathering.
However, he claims that a prior meeting, allegedly convened by the Secretary General, was illegitimate as the secretary lacks the authority to call for board meetings.
“Last week, the secretary called for a board meeting, but he has no powers to do so. So anything discussed at that meeting was a (an informal gathering). Anything discussed there is null and void,” he emphasized.
Harambee Starlets’ seven-place rise in FIFA rankings highlights their progress, WAFCON qualification hopes, challenges and the future of Kenyan women’s football.
The controversy follows a motion tabled by Mwamba RFC, Kenya’s first indigenous rugby club, on March 2.
were votes of no confidence against the secretary and vice chairman, as well as a motion declaring the treasurer and a director unofficial due to the completion of their terms under the Sports Act.
However, Mutai revealed that a separate motion, allegedly targeting him, was submitted late and, therefore, deemed invalid.
In response to what he described as an “attempted coup” by certain board members, Mutai confirmed that his lawyers are handling the situation, as he has been locked out of KRU’s operational systems, including emails and financial accounts.

The Shujaa and are currently in the thick of the world sevens challenger series gunning for a top placing in the standings.
“To call a proper board meeting, five members must write to the secretary, who then notifies me to convene it. However, today is an official board meeting. If they wanted to discuss me, I am open to that conversation. But today’s meeting will proceed as a procedural board meeting,” Mutai clarified.
With the AGM approaching, all eyes are on the Kenya Rugby Union as the power struggle intensifies, leaving the future leadership of the organization hanging in the balance.
