Some of the mandates of this committee are auditing internal policies and facilitating operational continuity.
Under the latter, the seven members are expected to “ensure the uninterrupted functioning of FKF’s essential systems and processes throughout the transition period,” the statement added.
Besides auditing and the facilitation of operational continuity, the committee will also strengthen organisational capacity and commission a forensic audit.
Meanwhile, the FKF President has vowed to work closely with all stakeholders to ensure there is openness in the running of the affairs of the federation.
“I’m proud to see the critical governance structures of FKF taking shape. This is a key step towards rebuilding trust in our football.
I remain committed to ensuring transparency and accountability are the foundation of everything we do,” he stated.
