Matters of coaching the national team should be left to the coach Former Kenya coach Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee

Kenya's national coach Jacob 'Ghost' Mulee has quit after expressing reservations about his working conditions.

Mulee's decision to throw in the towel follows Kenya's 2-1 loss to Botswana in a Group Five World Cup qualifier last weekend.

"There is too much interference. I cannot discharge my duties under the current circumstances," said Mulee, amid criticism from the Fifa-appointed Normalisation Committee.

The Committee's chairman Kipchoge Keino said 39-year-old Mulee had failed to produce match reports for his committee to discuss.

"I would very much like Mulee to work with the team, but he is not producing results.

"We cannot go on like this to the African Cup of Nations," said the former international athletics star.

But Mulee has in turn accused KFF administrators of doing little to prepare the Harambee Stars for World Cup qualifiers.

"I respect Kipchoge Keino as chairman of the Normalisation Committee," said Mulee, referring to the body appointed to reform Kenyan football.

"But matters of coaching the national team should be left to the coach."

Sylvester Ashioya, the secretary of the Normalisation Committee, said Mulee's replacement will be named shortly.

The former Kenya goalkeeper replaced German coach Reinhard Fabisch in May 2002 and steered Kenya to the 2004 African Cup of Nations finals - their first appearance in 12 years.

James Siang'a, currently coaching Tanzania Premier league side Moro United, is said to be in the running for the job.
