FKF’s Mwendwa should resign for taking Kenyan football backwards - Mariga

Former Harambee Stars midfielder MacDonald Mariga has blamed current Football Kenya Federation president Nick Mwendwa for the deteriorating standards of the sport in the country and called on him to resign from his position.

The 34-year-old, who earned 40 caps with Kenya's national team and managed to score five goals before hanging up his boots, has criticised Mwendwa and his regime for running down the sport in the seven years they have been in office.

Mariga, who made history as the first Kenyan footballer to play in the Uefa Champions League, for Inter Milan on March 16, 2010, has also called on the FKF boss to apologise to Kenyans after his comments immediately after the team lost two matches against Mali in the World Cup qualifiers.
