Fifa has warned that Kenya face potential sanctions

A row that is threatening to earn Kenya a ban from world football looks set to continue after meetings of two feuding factions of the football association failed to resolve the split.

The factions of the Kenya Football Federation (KFF) held parallel annual general meetings on Saturday in the Kenyan resort town of Malindi and the capital Nairobi and issued their own recommendations on how they will run the sport.

The meetings came only four days after Fifa president Sepp Blatter issued a fresh warning that Kenya could face sanctions during its Congress meeting in Zurich that starts in 31 May.

At the meeting in Malindi, which was attended by two Fifa observers, the delegates endorsed Mohammed Hatimy as chairman, Titus Kasuve as vice-chairman and Sammy Obingo as secretary.

Hatimy and his officials, who enjoy the backing of the sport's world gverning body, resolved to meet all the requirements of Fifa including the 28-point agreement reached in Cairo in 2006.

One of the Fifa officials at the Malindi meeting was the development officer in charge of East and Southern Africa Ashford Mamelodi.

But his rival, Peter Ochiel, who chaired the government-backed caretaker committee meeting in Nairobi, said they would take over the organisation on Sunday since they were legally in office.

Ochiel said they were prepared to meet Hatimy group to settle their differences as ordered by the High Court last week before organising for fresh elections.

"We have chosen to ignore what is happening in Malindi because it is an illegal meeting," said Ochiel.
