Leadership Disputes With FKL
The KFF had had disputes with Football Kenya Limited (FKL) over governing Kenyan football for over six years. It was suspended by FIFA in 2006 for citing government interference. The two parties later reached an agreement with the Kenyan government to ensure the federation's independence.
Several months later there was a falling out between FIFA and the KFF once again with FIFA stating that "the KFF and the Kenyan government had not kept their end of the deal". Eventually, in 2008, a group of football administrators set up FKL and was recognised by FIFA.
This led the KFF to sue FIFA for failing to recognize it and extending its (FIFA's) support to a limited liability company. The KFF also appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for a proper ruling.
On 27 April 2010, CAS dismissed the KFF's appeal and asked FIFA to continue recognising FKL as the governing body of Kenyan football.
Following an election called by FIFA, KFF was disbanded and replaced by Football Kenya Limited in 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word leadership:
“Nature, we are starting to realize, is every bit as important as nurture. Genetic influences, brain chemistry, and neurological development contribute strongly to who we are as children and what we become as adults. For example, tendencies to excessive worrying or timidity, leadership qualities, risk taking, obedience to authority, all appear to have a constitutional aspect.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
