Ndege defended his track record at FKF, insisting that he was instrumental in ensuring FIFA lifted a funding ban they had placed on FKF, among other duties
Former Football Kenya Federation (FKF) CEO Harold Ndege is now demanding Ksh 44.8 million in compensation or reinstatement to his position.
In new court filings, Ndege argues that he was employed on a term of approximately three years, with a gross monthly salary of Kshs.800,000 plus benefits.

However, he says he has not received any payments despite having an active contract, nor has he received a suspension letter.
“The claimant resigned from a secure pensionable position( before joining FKF), but nine months later, without KPIs, or any appraisal systems, warnings or investigations, the respondents applied a summary removal scheme,” said Ndege's lawyer.
Ndege defended his track record at FKF, insisting that he was instrumental in ensuring FIFA lifted a funding ban they had placed on FKF, among other duties.
He claims that the FKF Constitution is silent on the removal of a General Secretary and further accuses the body of substituting personal discretion for law.
Ndege argues that the meeting that preceded his removal on 6 February was illegally convened, as he had been given less than 12 hours' notice.
“The notice period was less than 12 hours, contrary to the constitution, which mandates seven days’ notice. The hearing was convened virtually without precedent, held without disclosure of quorum, and conducted during ongoing court proceedings and intended to sanitize prior illegal actions.”

He adds that following the meeting, FKF installed an acting CEO and excluded him from operations, as well as withheld his salary without a termination or suspension letter.
Ndege now wants the court to either reinstate him to his position or, in the alternative, compensate him for the unexpired term of the contract, equivalent to Kshs 28,800,000.
He is also claiming another Kshs 4.8million for unfair labour practices.

He wants another Kshs 5,000,000 for what he claims to be for aggravated damages and another Kshs 3,000,000, which he says is as a result of FKF's failure to provide him with security, as he had been attacked while going to the office.
Ndege also wants another Kshs 3,000,000 being payment for denial of professional advancement after he claimed that FKF prevented him from graduating after he had successfully undertaken a CAF Executive course.
