Jerome Champagne says the Fifa envoys will still go to Kenya

Justice John Mwera ruled that the KFF's executive committee, led by Maina Kariuki, has no authority to call for the elections since their term in office expired on 24 March.

The ruling comes just hours before two Fifa officials, Joseph Mifsud from Malta and Egypt's Ismail Taha, are due to arrive in Nairobi.

The two envoys were due to oversee the 10 April elections as well as meet Kenya's Sports Minister Najib Balala in an attempt to resolve the country's football crisis.

The government and the KFF are at loggerheads over allegations of financial impropriety and mismanagement.

Fifa's deputy general secretary Jerome Champagne has told BBC Sport that the pair will still be going to Kenya.

"Our representatives will be going to Kenya regardless of what has happened in the courts," he said.

"They are going there to try and resolve the dispute."

The KFF's outgoing secretary Hussein Swaleh says that they will abide by the ruling.

"We have no alternative but to call off the elections until our appeal against the court ruling is heard and determined," he said.

The government attempted to dissolve the KFF executive and replace it with a transitional committee, headed by ex-athlete Mike Boit.

That decision by the government was however suspended by a court ruling.
