Fifa has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Football Kenya Federation and Gor Mahia after the latter used new players in their league assignment despite the transfer ban by the world football governing body.
K'Ogalo were under restriction from Fifa after dismissing ex-players Shafik Batambuze, Dickson Ambundo, and former coach Steven Polack without clearing their dues. Sando Yangaya, Dennis Ng'ang'a, and Peter Lwasa among other new signings featured in the Super Cup against Tusker.
They were also involved in the league assignment against KCB, and it is the reason why the Federation and the Kenyan heavyweights are in trouble. The latter registered the players without getting the green light from Fifa.
"On 15th August, the federation asked FIFA if [Gor Mahia] can sign new players," read a letter to the parties obtained by Goal.
"On 16th August [Dickson Ambundo] informed FIFA that [Gor Mahia] is not respecting the transfer ban imposed because it had allegedly signed a Malian goalkeeper Adama Keita for two years. On the same date, FIFA informed the parties that the ban is still in force
