Mwea United failed to appear for its scheduled Division Two Eastern Zone fixture against Githurai All Stars on Monday, opting instead to watch a Premier League game at Police Sacco Stadium.

Football administrator James Masese Mokua linked the no‑show to a broader governance dispute within the Football Kenya Federation, accusing parts of the leadership of ignoring the federation’s Constitution, court orders and Sports Disputes Tribunal rulings.

Mokua, who also presides over Division Two side ASEC and County League club South B All‑Stars, said the conflict has affected every tier of Kenyan football since the current FKF administration took office.

He explained that the Eastern Zone Division Two competition is at the centre of the dispute, with rival factions running parallel leagues and disagreeing over which clubs qualify for promotion to Division One.

The original structure, created in 2020, assigned regional NEC members to oversee four Division Two zones, but an alleged meeting of FKF chairpersons in Naivasha in April 2025 sought to take over those competitions.

Stakeholder Stanley Lisiolo petitioned the Sports Disputes Tribunal, which on 22 July 2025 (case E024) ruled that the takeover breached the FKF Constitution and reinstated NEC members as the rightful managers.

Despite the tribunal’s decision, some chairpersons from Nairobi East, West and Kiambu proceeded to organise a separate “Metropolis” league, circulating fixtures on federation letterhead and using FKF‑trained referees.

Teams such as Gas FC, Butterfly FC and Leeds were reported to be competing for promotion in the parallel competition, which Mokua says is not recognised under FKF’s approved structure.

The dispute moved to the courts, with a Kiambu case (E005 of 2026) issuing an injunction that barred Metropolis clubs from promotion playoffs and ordered the Division One secretariat to include the promoted Eastern Zone clubs Del Monte, Muaya and Karatina Homeboys.

Mokua alleges that the FKF Head of Leagues and Competitions ignored the court directive by inserting Butterfly FC – a Metropolis team – while omitting the court‑mandated clubs Muaya and Karatina Homeboys.

He warned that continued administrative wrangling threatens the credibility of Kenyan league competitions and leaves clubs uncertain about Division One composition and promotion outcomes.
