The first caretaker committee was formed on 13 December 1968, when then Minister for Co-operatives Ronald Ngala cut short John Kasyoka's third term and appointed Johnathan Njenga as chair following disbandment of the Football Association of Kenya.
Samuel Ogembo was picked as the next caretaker committee interim chair by Masinde Muliro, Minister for Co-operatives & Social services in October 1970 after elected Bill Martin stepped down following his appointment as a Provincial Commissioner to North Eastern Province.
[2] In between Njenga and Ogembo, Isaac Lugonzo had twice held forte by virtue of being chair of the Kenya National Sports Council (KNSC) to oversee the federation after the same Muliro had kicked out Martin Shikuku in October 1970 and Williams Ngaah in mid 1973.
[3] Christopher Obure, Matiba's secretary general in the 70's, and Mathews Adams Karauri became the next set of caretaker committee chairpersons in April 1985 and March 1989 after Clement Gachanja and Job Omino[4] were kicked out of office.
Philip Kisia chaired one such committee for a week in mid 2002[5] when Minister of Sports Francis Nyenze put aside Maina Kariuki till the High Court in Kenya overturned his call.
