On 2 June 2004 FIFA sent Kenya to football wilderness for the first time[4][5] following the appointment of a Transitional Stakeholder Committee chaired by former athlete Mike Boit by Sports Minister Najib Balala at the expiry of Maina Kariuki's term with Kenya Football Federation.
On 26 October 2006, FIFA banned Kenya for a second time in two years after its Emergency Committee deemed the country had failed to respect agreements to resolve recurrent problems.
[7][8] The ban was lifted on 9 Mar 2007 by the same committee following recommendations by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after a number of sticking points were cleared.
They included a declaration by sports minister Maina Kamanda not to interfere in the running of the federation, that the 28 points agreed upon by Kenya Football Federation, and the Kenyan government with FIFA at a meeting in Cairo in January 2006 would be respected in full, and that Mohammed Hatimy would run the KFF on an interim basis as chair.
Ambassador Amina Mohamed dissolved Football Kenya Federation[11] and its executive over allegations of misappropriation of funds and formed a Caretaker Committee led by former Judge Aaron Ringera for an initial period of six months.
