Otieno: FKF CEO to be investigated for perjury

SDT also rules FKF are not in contempt as iniitially accused and will continue to supervise footballing activities

Football Kenya Federation (FKF) CEO Barry Otieno might serve up to seven years in jail if he is found guilty of perjury.

The administrator is accused of undermining the Sports Disputes Tribunal (SDT) and writing a letter to Fifa dated March 18, asking for protection. However, in a sworn affidavit, the CEO denied the allegations.

There is a consistent allegation that the letter is authentic, and SDT Chairman John Ohaga states the investigative agency will dig into the matter.
