We must show up,” he added.“Good ideas do not become FKF policy by being well argued in a letter, however correct. They become policy through a motion, tabled, debated and voted on by the NEC sitting as a quorate board.”AFC Leopards chairman Boniface Ambani analyses Gor Mahia's CAF Champions League lossThe comments come at a time when the prolonged leadership dispute has disrupted preparations for the new season, with the FKF Premier League and NSL yet to get underway as legal and governance disagreements continue to dominate the federation.
